What a wonderful piece. Thank you for mirroring what I have also struggled with. Writing for me is about sharing my soul with the universe, but those perfectionist parts see failure every step of the way. I enjoyed reading this and validating myself as I finished it. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm really glad this resonated with you. Writing can feel so vulnerable, and it’s easy to let those perfectionist voices creep in. But it’s beautiful that you’re finding a way to share your soul through your writing, imperfections and all. We’re all just figuring it out, and it’s so validating to hear this helped you feel seen. Keep sharing your truth because it matters more than we realize. Thank you for reading!
Love this. It’s funny because I used to do the same thing with my handwriting when I would journal. I would tear out an entire page and start writing all over again if I didn’t like the placement of a certain word or if the word didn’t look how I intended.
I recently became aware of my perfectionism, and something I’ve been saying to myself is “I have nothing to prove and everything to be.” It’s a reminder that “being” doesn’t require proving anything. When you simply “be”, you’re free, open, joyful, creative, excited, hopeful. There is magic in the world!! No chains holding you down. No expectation to live out. Just you. And your ability to simply be. 🪻🔮🦋🧚💫
I love that reminder... "I have nothing to prove and everything to be." It’s such a powerful shift from constantly striving to simply existing in the moment.There IS magic in the world when we stop trying to measure up to expectations and just embrace who we are. Thank you for sharing that beautiful perspective!
