i’ve been thinking a lot lately about how sometimes, things just don’t turn out the way you expect them to. like you have all these plans and ideas in your head, but reality just does its own thing. and that’s totally fine, right? (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄) it’s just life doing its thing. but i can’t help but feel like i get caught up in wanting everything to be perfect, especially when I see other people with their happy, calm moments.
sometimes i wonder if my idea of “perfect” is even real, does that make sense? like a perfect relationship or a perfect life, something i thought would just magically happen. but thinking about it more, i realize i’ve learned that it’s okay to not have everything figured out all the time. i think i used to be obsessed with finding the “right” person, the “right” thing to do, all of that. but even if it’s not perfect, it doesn’t mean it’s not worth it (≧∀≦)
i guess my ex kind of taught me that, though not in the best way… (⊙_☉) he always wanted everything to be perfect. he’d get mad over the smallest things, like if i wasn’t acting how he wanted me to or if plans didn’t go exactly as he imagined. at that time, i thought that’s how it should be. everything needed to be flawless to be happy. but, looking back, i see it wasn’t about being happy at all, it was just about him keeping control over a situation. i’ve realized i’m way more okay just figuring things out as they come. even on days when i’m feeling all kinds of confused, it’s okay to not have it all figured out. i guess that’s how life works, right? messy but realistic
and maybe that’s what makes it all so special. even when things go wrong or turn out differently than i expected, i still have things to look forward to. maybe it’s a day with my friends, or getting a new camera to try out. little things like that make life feel a little bit more fun and bright, even on cloudy days (≧◡≦)
i think i’m just slowly learning to be okay with the messiness. it’s like when i’m walking through the fields near my house, and i see the little flowers growing in random places. some are a little bent, or out of place, but they’re still so cute and pretty in their own way. i think life’s a little like that too. messy but cute and meaningful in its own special way.
and even though i don’t always have all the answers, i’m happy that I’m learning more about myself and the world every day (≧ω≦)

I love when people online are conscious on the fact that: life will never be perfect. Things never go fully as planned, and that's okay. Life doesn't work like how influencers on social media portray it. Life is not a movie.
It's just a mix of all scrambled up stuff that work when they want to, and that's absolutely okay. Thinking this way and seeing other people realise the same makes me so internally happy. Thank you for sharing this. <3

I like to think that if everything were perfect, life would feel a bit dull. As people, we were meant to adapt to a certain amount of change. In fact, perfection requires an understanding of its opposite—imperfection—for it to make sense to us. Try describing what perfection is without referencing its opposite in some way. As people, we were meant to adapt to a certain amount of change. What's nice about the chaos— the imperfections of life— is that although life may not always go our way, sometimes life may exceed our expectations.

In my eyes, perfection is just being happy with yourself and everyone and thing around you. Idk maybe that's a bad definition of perfection, but I suppose that's for you to decide ^w^

Perfection is subjective, really. Most people think it isn't and that perfection means you've got it all figured out, but that's just not true. Life's about being messy and having some chaos here and there, as well as doubts and regrets and all that stuff. It's fine to change your mind, it's fine to not feel happy all the time as well as it's perfectly fine to not feel fully accomplished in certain things. As long as you collect experiences that make you grow and make you enjoy life, that's all that matters.

You're gonna go nuts if you wanna everything to be all slick and perfect. It's not possible, and you'll just end up losing more nerve cells than usual, which is... yeah, not very cool. I agree on this post, hands down.
