A reoccurring message has become clear to me these past few days… As stated above, life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful. I think that many people get so caught up in trying to make things “perfect”. We want our relationships, job, closet, bodies, make-up, hair, life, etc. to be ideal. Maybe I’m generalizing when I say “people” but I definitely know some (myself included at times) where anything less than perfect is considered wrong or inadequate. What does perfect even mean? Who decides what perfect is? Why do we try so hard to make things perfect?

Something that I’ve been realizing lately is this: just because the road of life isn’t smooth and doesn’t always go the way that we had planned or expected, does not mean that it can’t be completely wonderful the way that it is. And in some weird, crazy, nonsensical way… life’s imperfections make it more interesting and enjoyable. Instead of stressing recklessly and trying make everything just right in your life, tilt your head back and have a good laugh. You’re tryin’ for nothing. Slow down a little and enjoy the ride.

Life will never, ever be perfect and will never work out exactly as we had planned or hoped. Accept this. Open up your mind to this idea. Revel in it. It’s what makes our life beautiful in its own crazy, unique way.

Happy being imperfect,
