"Don't try to be perfect. As long as you try, that's all that matters."
-Love, God





I came across this quote from George Bernard Shaw and it made me think about a lot of different things. One big one was about how imperfect we are and yet God still loves us. We are made to be imperfect and make mistakes. It's just how we were created. Perfectionism is an unattainable goal that I have worked very hard to let go of. I constantly have to remind myself that I can try to do my best, but perfection is not going to happen. And that's ok. Sometimes as humans, we forget this fact and criticize imperfections. If we could only show the grace to ourselves and others that God shows us, perhaps we could live a bit more harmoniously.
