Imperfect Desires

The overwhelming feeling of striving for perfection has been pushed

on us since childhood.

Never settling for less than an "A" because that is what we are fully of achieving. Never disobeying our parents because they know what's right for us. Never having a social life because you have other responsibilities.

These feelings stretch into adulthood. and make achieving anything less than perfection undesired. Undesired by society, our parents, and even by one's self. We strive for this all encompassing perfection and end up letting life pass us by.

Relationships, friendships, experiences pass us by in a flash and we may to realize it until after our time has come.

I'd like to stop letting life pass me by.
