You don't have to be perfect.
Be human.

Sometimes, we believe we have to be perfect to get anything or go anywhere. We feel like we have to have perfect plans, perfect outputs, perfect inputs, and only deal with perfect perfects.
I wonder where we learned that from. Did we learn it from society or somewhere else? I am not sure where we might have gotten this from, but it isnt’ true. It is okay to be imperfect. In fact, it’s beautiful to be imperfect.
The fact that we are learning, experiencing, and being, is so beautiful.
Perfection is not a prerequisite staple to go after something. Simply deciding and going for it is. Perfection is an illusion that will never be obtained. It’s a mirage you have got to ignore to truly find your oasis.
I know it can be scary to let go of perfection. It know it’s scary to put out things that aren’t perfect or to even to admit that you aren’t. Know that you can take small steps and do it in small ways.
I put myself out there even though I can thoroughly say I don’t know what the heck I am doing. I am sure these random life buttons I am pushing will lead me somewhere amazing. No shame in trying. No shame in being human. I am saying human because imperfection is to be human.
Let yourself be human, love.
Sincerely,
Your Author Bayinnah

💖 Our Little Time Capsuleㅤ 💖
Right now, I am just coasting and being positive! AHHH! Positivity?! Yes, positivity.
Sometimes, it is a bit scary to be positive, hopeful, and open. It certainly feels like that at certain times, but I think we can’t avoid these feelings if you have a tendency to feel them.
I am one of those people with those feelings and I won’t throw them away! It’s okay to look at the best case scenario and live aligned with it. Why not? If things go south, it’s not really going south. It can feel that way, but what if it’s redirecting you something truly amazing!
I think we’re being led to something amazing. What do you think? Leave a comment to write this collective diary together! ~
