The Duality of Perfection
When you introduce yourself to someone, you show them the most perfect version of yourself. Your potential employer, mate, or cool new friend of a friend. You start with the version you've deemed fit for presentation to the world: Beautiful, intelligent, charming, and successful.
Perfection is to be expected.
But the more we expect perfection, the more we notice the cracks within ourselves in stark contrast. And then we have a choice... to either drown in self-judgment until we give up on stopping the bleed from the ever-widening cracks. or embrace these imperfections and find a way to thrive, regardless.
We are beautiful because of our imperfections. And that is how we survive.
