The big picture. I am an evolving being. When I talk about being perfect, what does it mean? Since I am in the process of becoming. In creating this piece I asked myself “why are we so quick and eager to give up who we are or give of the pursuit of who we want to be, thinking that who we are or who we want to be is not good enough or accepted”. At different points in time, we are in a struggle to find the most honest expression of who we are. We find expression sometimes in a fit of anger, hate, frustrations and a little madness, and other times in an expression of love, care, and compassion.
Sometimes it’s difficult to figure out what makes you, YOU. Is it your heart, brain, eyes, legs, ears and the likes, or is it your smile, that special way you talk and touch when in a good mood, or is it your bitterness when you are angry?. Being YOU is what is special about YOU. Find courage today to be vulnerable enough, to be YOU.
