I’ve felt that pressure to be perfect too. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to see imperfection as authenticity. In a world that often chases perfection, it's the quirks and flaws that make each person, each object, and each moment captivating and authentic. In a world where AI generated perfection will become the norm, I hope we see an increase in appreciation of the less than perfect and quirky. Beautifull written!
