"To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. "

I've reached a breaking point. (I've always wanted to say that!) But, I honestly have. I figured out that I'm bored with my life. I spend to much time trying to be perfect and in return I just am unhappy. This made me realize two things. 1: I should listen to my father more. 2: Perfect is anything but what it means. Explanation to #1: My father always told me that I don't have to be perfect because it just makes me miserable. He was absolutely right. So,from much experience, listen to your parents or people who have more experience. No matter how much you don't want to listen to them, most likely they're right. I have a very "thick-head" and it takes all of the armed forces to make me see something in an opinion other than my own. sometimes it's a good quality, sometimes it's a very awful quality. Explanation to #2: Being perfect is overrated. Being imperfect is where true happiness is found.The reason why we are here is to all be imperfect. Those who are perfect are crazy. See I try so hard to be perfect and finally I figured out, being perfect is what's keeping me from becoming perfect. When people stop attempting to be perfect that's when they truly become it. So yes, many people are perfect. Not the perfect in a sense where everything you do is right, but a perfect in which you are happy with your life and find yourself to be perfect. It's in trying to be perfect that we forget what living really is. It's now my mission to go back to figuring out what it's like to live. What it's like to feel excitement, pain, happiness, and every single emotion in between. It's time for me to totally stop caring and start taking risks. Say what I feel and do what I know is right. I also ask that you join me. So maybe, together, we can all be perfect, just in an imperfect way.
