Perfection


"As humans, we're all hardwired for struggle. You're imperfect, you're hardwired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging. You're enough.

Perfect is status quo, unmoving, a boundary, stagnant, stubborn.

Imperfection is liquid, a movement away, a new way of looking, a development.

From imperfection comes new ideas, new words, new language, new vision, new ways of describing.

In the lens of perfection, we all look the same, we are all the same, we can say this is or this is not. Perfection is useless. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and as soon as it is beholden it falls from perfection-- somebody, somewhere will consider it hideous.

Perfection is nothing more than conforming to an IDEAL type. Ideals just happen to be created from imperfect humans.

HE is the only one who is truly perfect, but even He knew the beauty of imperfection when He created the earth and developed the people to live in it.

Perfection in our world is not real, it's not tangible.

Beauty is subjective, and is not nearly as closed or as confined as the term "perfection."

A bald headed cancer patient who develop spots on their skin, a three-legged dog who skirts around valiantly... it all can be considered beautiful because it's imperfect.

God created you, and you're beautiful because of it. "

Thank you for making me see myself in a whole new light 6 months ago. You are a greater blessing than I can possibly express. All I can simply say is...thank you for your unconditional love.
