We live in a world defined by perfectionism: the belief that things and people can (and should) be flawless.
In this world, failure is seen as a disaster you cannot afford, faults are magnified irrationally and we're all kept on our toes.
We get into relationships and get out because the people weren't "perfect for us." We pay for expensive cosmetic surgeries to "look our best." We get worried that we're not "living our best life."
But perfection is a pipe dream, and chasing that dream is a deadly trap that can take the best of us and leave empty shells behind.
In the pursuit of being flawless, we set ourselves up for disappointment and frustration. Even worse, it opens the door to bad mental health. Basically, we're killing ourselves by trying to live without flaws.
Get out of the trap.
Life would not be life without failure, imperfection and limitations. It's time you gave yourself a break from self-judgment and embraced the entirety of your imperfect self. Perfection is for machines.
Indeed it is for machines.
