Today's topic is "Perfectioinists"
There's this guy in my class that's like sooooo genius and talented, skinny, tall, Moroccan, and has a clever answer for everything....I just wish to be a girl version of him. I don't know why... I just do. I want to have perfect SAT scores and 5's for my AP exams and everything. I want to play piano professionally at concerts, be skinny and fit, and have witty responses that makes others laugh.
But I need to remind myself that these goals are only picturesque...meaning they're delusional. What's legit is the time you take to work, spend your energy and take small steps towards the perfect images. Smallest steps are underestimated- some are really not easy- smallest are actually, i thing, the hardest. It's when you decide to not eat that little extra chocolate or candy and drink water instead, or read a paragraph and new vocabulary instead of watching a YouTube video. I mean we all think it won't matter, but it matters most.
People live not to enjoy, but to struggle. To my opinion, it is the truth. I mean, do we really live to spend 5 minutes to eat a meal? Food takes so little time, free time would soon turn to boredom, a favorite song would become annoying within 2 days. These joys come and go, not caring of us. But don't we spend 8 hours at school and work? Don't we spend hours exercising, making projects, cleaning and etc? The only ways to live happily and save your nerves is to fall in love with what gives you a challenge. To live life is to fight. But you better find something to fight for...
Well.. so as for me, my biggest challenges are: eating right amounts of food after school, not eating after 7 p.m, doing my homework on time, studying ,exercising, sleeping well, and socializing. I need to take steps to better myself. Thankfully, I have something to fight for. I really want to become a strong fighter. I wont to become stronger, and the rewards are just there to encourage me. It's important to stop being ignorant.
Lots of love ~ happy fighting you guys!
