Perfect

There were times in my life when I thought I wanted something until a teacher told me it was possible and then I no longer wanted it. Then I had times where someone said it was impossible so I made it possible. When I knew it was possible, I figured that it was something someone else made possible so I left it alone but when I heard it was impossible, I made it my mission to make it happen. I think I chose to leave the possible alone because it might have already been perfected by the person that made it possible so I left it alone and chose to follow the paths that were deemed impossible because I wanted to create something new, something that has never been made before. The truth is, nothing can ever be perfect, everything will have flaws and I was worried about trying something that has never been done because I was worried about making a mistake or doing horribly and I don’t like making mistakes so for a long time, I did what was easy for me so I could work on perfecting it. Instead, it was ten times more difficult to create something new and it never came out the way I was thinking so I went back to the things that were easy. I was going in a circle trying to perfect something that can never be perfected and I knew this but despite it, I kept going back and forth. Something that is meaningful today will be meaningful in 50 years but something that is perfected today will be forgotten tomorrow. The art with flaws is still art, if anything, the flaws are what make it unique, impossible to recreate and priceless because it shows that you put in your time and effort and made a few mistakes but it was created to be loved by others. True art isn’t “perfect,” it is unique and when made with heart, it will be seen by those that will grow to love it. You may hate that one flaw but that one flaw can be the one thing that draws everyones’ attention and allows others to think outside the box. Most of the art everyone appreciates was made by mistake. The one song an artist sings becomes the song people have on repeat. When you feel called to add a detail to your art, do it! Listen to your heart and create something new. There are millions of people that will appreciate your art and just as many people that will buy your art and recreate the new dance you made or have your song on repeat. I am proud of you and I believe in you.
