A disease called perfection

All I can say is wow......read this blog. It will likely make you see some things in yourself you don't like, but it is so candid and so well written, and really exposes the flaw in the the thinking we have to be "perfect".

We do not have to be perfect. We don't have to have it all. And we don't have to have it together all the time! We are allowed to be sad, to be stressed, to be afraid.
As he says so well in here, it is time for us to be "real" instead of always striving to be "perfect".
I know I will be thinking about my life and my reactions to situations differently after reading this. Will it affect you the same way?
