Striving for Perfection

I've always wanted the perfect family, perfect job, perfect apartment, perfect friends, and perfect boyfriend. You might realize that having so much perfection is impossible and I applaud you for realizing this. I got to the point of total exhaustion. It can't happen. Hi, I'm Rachel and I'm not perfect.

I think for me I always compared my life to others'. I saw that they had a perfect boyfriend or a perfect job, but I didn't realize that other things in their lives could be imperfect. These people that were perfect in some ways were totally imbalanced and unhappy in others. I've sort of come to the point in my life where it's okay if things aren't perfect, but as long as I can stay balanced that's the most important thing. Please note the phrase "sort of," it's a constant struggle for me.

That's why we're here on Gen-Yise together. We're here to support each other. You might be stronger or have more balance in the area of relationships than another Gen-Yiser and she might have a more balanced career. We're here to share our experiences so we can all strive to live healthier, happier, more balanced lives. What area of your life do you feel is imbalanced? Share your story and get connected.
