I Hate Perfection

Call me crazy but I hate perfection. I hate that this is what our world glorifies. If you don't believe me, go check out social media. Our world has set this standard of perfection that no person can achieve. People try to live up to this ridiculous standard as they stalk each other in a cyber world that they have come to believe is real life! It is absurd. People, amazing people I know and love more than anything, try to hold themselves up to these impossible standards and fail. Perfection is the killer of joy and life. 

Real life is messy. It's a bunch of unanswered questions. Life is going through the ups and downs with good people pulling you along. And yet as we all chase perfection we ostracize ourselves. The only way to live a perfect life it to never let anybody in to see the mess. There are so many people who won't let anybody in because they're afraid for people to see who they really are. They are afraid that they won't live up to the standards of all those perfect people they see all around them. But here's the news flash, NOBODY IS PERFECT!!! So why don't you all just get down and dirty. 

I know it's scary to be vulnerable. And no, not everybody will agree with you. And there are going to be some personalities that you just don't get along with. But that's ok, you don't have to click with every person you meet, but if you're real you've at least given yourself a chance. We are all different and that is the beauty of the human race. Our differences aren't wrong they are what make us individuals and what makes us beautiful. We see things differently so we can challenge each other to see the world in a whole new way. We challenge each other to grow and push each other to a new perspective. We were made to compliment each other, not to compete.

And just to start the ball rolling... My name is Courtney, I am a wife and a mother to three beautiful children. We are a work in progress. I am constantly learning to be a better mother as I was never equipped to do this motherhood job, it's a job that equips you as you go. I will be home schooling our oldest child for the first time this year because he has some sensory struggles but the most intelligent mind and beautiful heart in the world. My middle son will be starting first grade in a few short weeks and he has a stubborn personality that never ceases to make me smile and remind me that life is good. My daughter is my youngest and her job in life is to keep me humble and remind me of everything that is wild and free just as she.
