In The Search For Perfection, Are We Losing Our Worth?

We often assume that perfection is something which is defined and ideal. If someone is perfect then he/she/they would be pleased by everyone but according to me this is a myth. I believe that perfection is a social construct, it varies from person to person then why do we get bothered so much? Why do we always try to be perfect all the time. Can’t we create our own definition of being perfect? Can’t we be just kind to ourselves and be normal, just normal. Since childhood i always tried to be perfect, adapting to the norms present in the particular area then i moved to different place for my higher studies and realized that the norms now have been changed. I started to adapt the new norms now and realized that i am just becoming a people pleaser in this whole tiring process, I realized that this process is exhausting me.Luckily i decided to leave this process and now i am not exhausted anymore.

This is the poem that I’ve written a long time ago(my first poem).Not ‘perfect’ hahahaha but of course I like it and it matters to me. I discovered my writing habit through this. I realized that writing gives me comfort and I am very thankful to YKA for providing this opportunity to all the people who wanna write out.
