I see nothing wrong with striving to be your best, that I get. What I don't understand is the strive for perfection. I think not being "okay" (i.e: settled, functional) is entirely human, even fundamental. What's the point of being perfect. What would we do if everyone was perfect? It's so important to embrace our imperfections, because only then can we see how much more there is to everything else, and how humans really need each other. Only then we learn and we grow. We'll never be perfect, but that's what makes us so amazing.
"I see the great heights, reminding me I'm alive//I don't want to die//I don't want to waste another day, or night//I know there's something more, than what we're living for//I see it in the stars//I feel it on the shore"
The other thing I don't get is this - we meet someone for the first time, we grab their msn, phone numbers, facebook profiles. We see them "online", "busy" or "away", but we barely talk to them at all. We barely talk to more than 10 people regularly on msn. Facebook is scarier. We literally know everything (fine more than enough) about each other's lives, but we don't even talk to them, and we barely have a relationship with them at all. I mean social networking is great, but nothing's private anymore, and that's really scary.
Okay sorry this post was over 3 days and is extremely disjointed. I promise better the next time.
Hope everyone's doing well! Cheers! :)
