I think being perfect is an illusion and pain we put ourselves through
We seek validation from outside to decide what to make from ourselves, but we ignore the best person to get validation from, and that person is ourselves
To be better first have to do with our understanding, if we don't have a better understanding of who we are meant to be, we will continue to silently appeal to others to accept who we are trying to create.
Truth is we can't 100% be accepted for who we are when we are constantly creating the perfect being and who we are supposed to be in our head.

I truly hope more people get to see thisThank you for putting this piece out @samostically
