They say, "Don't change, you're perfect as you are." Humans can't be perfect. It's not in our nature.
Our media portrays perfection as people's personalities painted in pretty pastel. Don't be fooled. Perfection is disgusting.
Perfection is tearing your hair out over a simple dashed line in front of the "A" on the report card.
Perfection is raking chewed cuticles across your cheeks for missing the kick in Phy. Ed class.
Perfection is spilling your guts out after every meal and screaming into the mirror, "Am I perfect yet?! Am I good enough for you?!"
Perfection is ripping apart the artwork you poured your heart into because someone pointed out a flaw, and now you can't unsee it.
Perfection is gorging on painkillers as if they would take away the emotional pain, too.
Don't you dare tell me that I'm perfect because perfection is disgusting.
I hate the word "perfect".
I'm tired of people saying that perfection is something to glorify and strive for. Some people are literally broken apart by the expectations of perfection.
