Without breaks, faults, and gaps, nothing could grow and nothing would become. - Brianna Wiest

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF. WHAT IS THAT PERSON LIKE?

Make a list of all the imperfect people you’ve known in your life who have had love. Who have had romantic partners and best friends and jobs you could only ever dream of. Make a list of all the people who are conventionally unattractive and spiritually adrift and imperfect and all the things each one of them had despite being that way. Make it your own personal proof that you do not need to be perfect to be good enough.

Living in the moment isn't a lofty idea reserved for the Zen and enlightened, its the only way to live a life that isn't infiltrated with illusions.
