Perfection

What is perfection? It's something that does not exist. I've never been perfect and I never want to be, but it always festers in my mind on how I can be perfect. The perfect sister, the perfect daughter, the perfect girlfriend, the perfect friend, the perfect student. It took me a long time to figure out that nobody is perfect and there is no such thing.

All throughout my life I've searched for ways to become the perfect person, yet something or someone always got in my way. What makes me the person I am? I don't have perfect grades, or perfect skin, I cry and get angry. Some days I can't get out of bed and others I want to do everything I possibly can in a day. After so many years I realized, what I lack in perfection, I gain in my own personal happiness.

What I grasp is that all that matters is that of trying and becoming happy. There's no such thing as perfection and all that matters is that I'm happy. I may not have the perfect skin, but I'm trying to fix it, I may not have the perfect grades, but I'm working as hard as I can., Sometimes I get angry, but I always find a way out of that anger, after working so hard at becoming perfect person and realizing there's no such thing working hard at trying your best and becoming happy is what makes you perfect within yourself. Always try your best to be the best person you can be, and never give up on trying, even if you fell sometimes because even the most perfect person, no matter who you are fails at some thing and the best thing you can do is get back up and try again.

It might be cliché of me to say that there's no such thing as perfection and to never give up and all you can do is try, but the cliché is truth. You must never give up becoming your most authentic self., You must persevere, no matter what whether it's failure or whether it's somebody telling you you can't all that matters is that you become a better person within yourself, and then everything else falls into place. Some days are hard and I struggle, knowing that I may never be some thing that other people want me to be or something that I want to be all that matters is perseverance. The thing that makes you perfect within yourself is self love., Happiness, working hard at something you love, and always listen to naysayers saying you can't do it because those naysayers give you the strength and the drive to continue doing better for yourself and for the people you love. Your biggest insecurity and your biggest downfalls inspire others if you just get back up and continue working on being yourself and becoming happy, never becoming perfect.
