Perfect is way overrated! Imperfection is rather a better yet realistic to aspire to! Perfection is so destroying and causes more problems because it’s not realistic and impossible to say so myself to aspire to be perfect.

Because no one is perfect and neither is anything in life, well many things vary. Imperfection is about being your imperfect, flawless and authentic self inside and out without any shame and with outer confidence!


We all have been down that road where I got into the habit of the thought running through our heads way too much because of someone (anyone) kept repeating “your not good enough” or “it’s not good enough” and such taking away our own self worth.

There are many things society and others want us to change about ourselves, but that doesn’t mean we should give into their powerful words just to gain/earn their acceptance and validation.

It’s not worth it, there’s something even better to strive for. Imperfection and creative! Be your best and first rate version of yourselves! Care more for what you think about yourself than what others think.

“I’m sure you’ve got something you’d like to change about yourself.” ~ Selena Gomez


Choose to be your own person no matter what anyone thinks. Because what matters most and mainly is what you think about yourself. And striving for the best and first-rate version of yourself!

Whoever could you be? Everyone else is already taken!

“But when it comes to me, I wouldn’t want to be anybody else.” ~ Selena Gomez

We aren’t perfect and no one including ourselves shouldn’t expect anyone to be. Nothing is impossible but that doesn’t mean perfect is possible. Because human beings aren’t perfect, they make mistakes and we will continue to. We all should come to the terms and accept this and embrace it for all it truly is!

Never say never! Prove the rest of the world, wrong!

“I’m no beauty queen. I’m just beautiful me!” ~ Selena Gomez


We all have every right to live a life worth living and a life of our own. And that can be hard to do but not impossible!

It’s the choice we have to make our life a life worth living and one we intend on living. Live your life to the absolute fullest!

“You’ve got every right to a beautiful life!” ~ Selena Gomez
