This really resonated with me and it’s really helpful to see someone else talk about perfectionism because sometimes my brain is thinking this way without even catching itself. Thank you for this comic
I am so happy that you liked it! Thank you so much! ❤️
Thank you so so much for this. I know I set myself impossibly high standards and I feel the need to make everything in my life perfect from friendships and my fitness to school grades and my personality. It is amazing to know someone feels the same way and I can’t wait to see more of your posts x
Aw, thank you! I’m really glad you could relate to it, and I completely understand what you mean about setting yourself standards that are impossible to reach and feeling like every area in your life has to be perfectly managed all the time. Thanks again! ❤️
Beautiful art
Thank you! ❤️
This is so well and beautifully put, and it scares me that I feel like that too, sometimes. Like, I get that I can’t be good at everything, but why can’t I be good -no, great at everything I choose to do and at everything I want to be great at! Sometimes, I tell myself that I have to focus on solely one thing to be perfect at, but I can’t even manage to do that! And when I try to be my best self at everything I do, my best self is divided, therefore weaker. But it’s okay because at the end of the day, I realize it is not necessary to shine in every single area in life. So, bravo to the author for capturing that in such beautiful words and art, and I’m kind of scared we might be the same person -but I don’t live in England, nor do I play piano.
But I often obsess about Taylor Swift’s music.
