I dislike the person I’ve been lately.

Some people call it being anti-social. I call it being independent.

I feel so sad.

When my family first came to America, a few nuns gave my mother this sewing machine. Throughout my childhood, I wore a lot of beautiful, one-of-a-kind, homemade dresses. Twenty years later, this beauty is still kicking and it’s as precious to me as an old typewriter to a journalist.
Now that I have some free time, I’m making it a priority to sew. 😃
I’ve been feeling really sorry for myself lately, and that definitely has to change. Because I’ve been so unstimulated for the last few weeks, I’ve realized how much of a perfectionist I am. I can’t stand to just sit here and enjoy this time off. I’ve applied to over 15 jobs with no luck, researched dozens of scholarships and even looked into volunteering opportunities. I’ve brainwashed myself into believing that productivity is a must to the degree that idea of relaxation seems like a sin! That’s why I spend all of my time trying to organize my world, constantly cleaning and planning things.
Luckily, I’ve come to the realization that perfect is boring. Who cares if I don’t work/volunteer this summer? It’s my only summer off before optometry school. I should enjoy every moment of it— whether I’m being adventurous, or just watching an episode of Friends. Sure, I’ll be poor— but I’m going to be poor for the next four years of my life anyway, might as well get an early start! I just need to stop beating myself up about this. Things will be okay.
So here’s to all you imperfectionists. Here’s to all of those who are graduating late from school or have already graduated and are still unemployed. Here’s to those who are not married, single and are not dating. Here’s to those who are heartbroken, sad, or lonely. Things will be okay. If you don’t struggle, you’re not human. Plus, everyone hates perfect bitches anyway.
Cheers.
