Gems: "I try to be ok with not being ok." "The perfectionist is afraid of completing a task because it won't be perfect."

shes self proclaimingly "recovering" but it is still so noticeable that shes trying way to hard. forcing herself to be funny, relatable, dramatic etc... doesnt seem natural imo

@theartzscientist8012 2 жыл бұрын

Why would you recover from being perfect in life? Many should strive to do the same. I am not hard on myself.
