ME
I know that I have looked at the topic of me throughout my blogs. Talking about me and my experiences is something that I do know about. Today I wanted to look at the topic of perfection. There concepts of the perfect wife, perfect child, perfect job, perfect home and perfect life. I walked around exhausted, never satisfied, always wanting more. I felt like I was living in a nightmare created by society. You know society is so full of imagoes of what our lives should look like.
Finally 11 years ago I went on disability through my job for mental health reasons. Slowly as I tore away the layers of onion I began to see that happiness was more important than perfection. Being in recovery from active addiction has really taught me and showed me how to love myself. They loved me when I couldn’t love myself. They have helped me realise that the perfect person doesn’t exist. Also that I will bring myself insane looking for perfection. I have learned when mistakes happen or life happens learn from the experience so I can continue to grow.
