I loved this, Millie ❣️ And you know, in most aspects of my own life, perfection is not something I need to have... but where I find it hard to deal with... is in my own writing. Now, I love reading other peoples' blogs, short stories,what have you... and I am not highly critical. I do not expect or demand perfection. In fact I simply appreciate the pieces that I read. But with myself? It's a different story.I hold myself to a higher standard. And it is not perfection... because I realise that my own writing is far from it... but I do want it to be as good as I can possibly get it... and on platforms like Hive, that is my Achilles' heel... because if I didn't focus so much on tightening as much as possible, on getting the grammar right, the readability improved etc etc ...the list is so long... then I would likely publish most days... but my pieces takes a good few days to research, produce, edit etc etc... (I guess I am a Mom to 2 young boys too... so it also makes me short on time!)
But I do so enjoy the process of producing my written pieces too so I don't mind so much. I have been told by a number of people that I should just hit the publish button sooner... that the extra hour or two or evening spent on a piece does not warrant the extra eyes or rewards.... but for me, it isn't even about that. It's about trying to put out my best work on any given day that I hit the publish button... It's just about me and my writing... and the only time it goes out not exactly how I want it, is if I am publishing at the deadline of a contest lol... cos then...well then I have literally run out of time hehe.
But I love that you have learned the art of living life without perfection. That is a special thing to achieve 🙌😍 And the story of your dress is so cool and awesome... who would have thought that your actions all those years ago would bring you such great joy today. And you look beautiful in it!!!🤗You rock the dress, the yoga poses, and the coffee !LOLZ

Hello @samsmith1971
Thank you 😊
I get what you speak of totally. I do like to take time to draft and prepare my blogs too. I believe effort goes a long way, and it took me a long while to get over perfection.
An example is: when I was in high school, I could draw or cut the straightest lines without a ruler, and all my artwork was perfectly finished. That was something that marvelled everyone else in my class. Years later I realised that going for perfection with everything else that I did was holding me back.
The reason for that is that my mum teaches art... and when I was doing art in school, it was all about getting things perfect and neat instead of just going with the flow and letting the creativity come out.
I used to also wait until I mastered something before presenting it. Now I'm able to roll with the basics and improve along the way, so I'm constantly learning and applying, and mitigating problems along the way. It works better for my personal growth.
I would say do you with your blogs because whenever I stumble across your work, it's also impressive.
It's amazing when I think of it 🙏
Yes, perfection does indeed have it's price. Sometimes it is worth it, at other times not. And thank you, Milly, I appreciate your kind words... I guess I will keep doing what feels right to me... and if my process evolves organically as my writing improves, then I will take that as a win 😍 !LUV
