Dear Perfection,

Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.

Dear Perfection,

You are what I have strived to achieve all my life. But today as I look back, I realize that the image I had of you was merely an illusion. To me, I thought I would gain you once I was rich and lived my life with no worries. You were an unattainable image in my head - planted by the society.

I assumed that if I did what was expected of me then I would achieve you–you are the ultimate goal, aren't you? 

But what are you a really?

For all my life, I have tried to searchor you in other things but how could I find you if I didn't even know what you were.

I am forced to question my definition of you that I have built up over the years. You, perfection, have a different definition for everybody. For some, it's to be rich, for some to be pretty, for some to be normal. And many more. But I finally understand it's okay to have different definitions of you. I have finally come to realize what you are. 

Perfection, you are me. You make me realize that we live in a perfect world of imperfections. You make me realize that it's okay to be not okay. You make me feel that I am perfect in my own way. I don't need money or luxuries to be perfect. To others, I may be just a bird in the vast flock but to many more, I am the leader of that flock. I am what I want to be - society labels don't define me. They can call me a whore, slut or a bitch. They can try to put me down all they want but I don't and won't ever give into them.

At the end of the day, I know I am okay the way I am. And you taught me that I should love myself for who I am. Because you make me realize it.

I may be made up of flaws but I am stitched up with grace, ain't I? 

I know I am and I thank you for that. I have finally come to adore you and understand you.

From,
The one you made feel beautiful
Yours Grace.

So everyone, who likes my writing, I have tried something new. There are going to be a few letters like this (not to perfection but other things) in which I convey what I have learned from them.

So here it is what I have learned from perfection and about perfection.
