✨book launch tour, starts today⚡️: “Life cannot be perfect forever," my Japanese mother used to say on the other side of the line, when I’d call her having a mini-meltdown in NYC.
I used to think it was a sad thing to say until I started appreciating every flaw and seemingly imperfect moment in my life, including dark days and chaotic moments.
With each passing year here in The City, I began to be more open and accepting of the empathetic practice of wabi sabi.
As a young girl, I identified with being “mixed” or a “hapa” girl (half Japanese and half Polish American). I was raised by incredible immigrant parents, I was raised different, I felt different, and of course, I looked different. I was teased from first grade into high school, simply because of the way I looked.
... back in NYC.... After 10 years of buttoning up in my career, I’m like, dude...it’s time to let loose. I’m not perfect. I don’t want to be. So why am I pleasing everyone around me?
Ask yourself the same and continue the course. Do you. Trust me, everyone wants to see that mask off and you doing so, allows everyone else around you to do the same.
Yeah girl, I still remember those dark corners, the rugged mountains, the shadows cast upon my views. From following my ancestors’ practices in Japan to realizing the ideas of a perfect relationship, (a perfect man, um unlikely!), my mentality of constant positivity is contingent on my belief perfection doesn’t exist, but rather an acceptance that everyone is trying their best.
I would be a fool to be chasing perfection and its transient ways.
Remember: Perfection is dangerously fleeting and if we constantly chase it, we will find ourselves misled. Stay the course, acknowledge that everyone is doing their best and enjoy your perfectly imperfect life.
