How To Love Your Imperfections
Growing up isn’t easy for everyone. We mature with personality traits that don’t always sit well with us. How many times have you gotten dressed up and were not satisfied with how you looked? Or you may have felt you’re too curvy to carry off that ‘gram-worthy’ dress. Or you’ve noticed that your freckled face looks far better with a picture-filter on it… Other times, an inherent trait like social shyness may have kept you away from striking up interesting conversations, even when you were only one of the few to get most creative ideas in your head.
That is how life, unfortunately, is. Your imperfections inhibit your perfections, and if the behavior persists; you’ll also likely lose that leftovers of glow that still shines through your flaws.
Once a Taiwanese Buddhist monk, Sheng Yen, wisely said, “I follow four dictates; face it, accept it, deal with it, then let it go.” And that’s precisely what I’m about to elaborate about in this article.
Social media has twisted and barbed the idea of perfectionism. From glass-skinned models to beauty influencers, the true meaning of perfection has been lost somewhere in an abyss.
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” – Marilyn Monroe.
Wouldn’t you agree?
