All of us seem to be striving for perfection.
As a parent I want my children to come home with the perfect score.
I want them to present themselves in front of guests in their perfect outfit with the perfect things to say with perfect manners.
Anything less just cannot be…
As a woman I want to have the perfect body, perfect hair, perfect dress and shoes and bags to give me a perfect score.
I am a house-proud lady with the perfect home serving the perfect food for the party of the perfect.
Anything less just cannot be…
As a wife I want to be the perfect companion knowing the latest news being the perfect conversationalist and the perfect arm candy for my partner.
I have to be the perfect soul mate and perfect love.
Anything less just cannot be…
As a mother I demand nothing else but perfection from myself.
I have to serve my children the perfect healthy snack, know the perfect ideas for their history homework, plan the perfect birthday party with the perfect theme.
Spend perfect time with them being their perfect role model.
Anything less just cannot be…
As a daughter I have to buy the perfect present for my elderly parents, spend the perfect summer holiday with them, talk about the perfect times we had together and exclaim how perfect my mother’s cooking is.
Anything less just cannot be…
As a friend I have to be the perfect companion, the perfect listener, the perfect selfie taker to diarise each perfect moment of our perfect friendship, the perfect shoulder one call away.
Anything less just cannot be…
As a colleague I am the perfect team member, working on the perfect presentation with the perfect boss in an office aiming for the perfect target to satisfy its perfect mission.
Anything less just cannot be…
Such is the story of our world of the perfect, chasing a time that cannot be.
And living each moment striving for perfection when perfection we cannot be.
If in this moment you could just BE… what a perfect moment that could be.
