The art of "Perfection".

Something that I've learnt the hard way is that perfection is unattainable. At least that's how I feel.

Hello all, The Earthian here.

So, I was the kid that always wanted to impress people (I wanted to be in the good books of all the people). I tried doing all the things that others did. I tried all the stuff that were apparently "cool". I was not really good at whatever I tried but a part of me always felt like I was getting singled out of the crowd. I realized the more I tried to be cool, the more I tried to be perfect, the more chaotic my life got. Not that I had a lot of friends, but when I tried that stuff, I felt like I was getting farther from people. Now, it took me less than a moment to realize, that it's not worth it. All the effort I put in, all the time I wasted, yes wasted, trying to impress people who didn't give a damn about me and whom I didn't give a damn about.

I learnt that I'm never ever going to be liked by everyone, and that's just fine because different opinions is what makes humans humans, at the end of the day.
So what I did was stop all of it. Not pause it, stop it. Thoroughly and completely. I quit everything I felt was useless for me and started doing things that I thought​ will make me better as a human. Did my life get any better? Well, to answer that, I need to answer another question which is "Did my life get any worse?" And the answer for that is, NO. It didn't. So obviously, in a wide aspect, my life did get better.

It's a funny feeling, you know the thought of being alone, scares the shit out of most of us. But most of us fail to question the fear. Which is why, uniqueness is lost and "perfection" is seeked.

Lots of love, peace.
