Sometimes I feel like we try way too hard to be perfect. And I used to be like that too 🤭

⠀

I wanted to look perfect, say the right things, always be confident, never show my weaknesses, and never make mistakes. As if someone seeing my less-than-perfect sides would immediately make them disappointed in me 🥹

But over time, I realized one thing: perfect people simply don’t exist.

⠀

We all have our quirks, fears, insecurities, bad habits, and moments when we say the wrong thing or act differently than we wish we had. Sometimes we make the wrong decisions. And that doesn’t make us any worse.

On the contrary… I think it’s exactly these imperfections that make a person real ✨

Have you ever felt like you were trying too hard to seem perfect for other people?
