“Perfection is a strange thing, because we go through life being told that it is inherently unattainable. But would we truly know a perfect thing if it looked us in the face?”
– Jason Diamond
One day, you will have everything you have ever longed for and it still will not be sufficient. Everything will fit into place and yet you will remain empty. You will compare yourself to those around you, foraging for something to want, to need, to obsess over. As if the presence of this pungent desire is what drives you.
Why do this to yourself? Why crave something so imperfect, you will stop at nothing to hold it, to have it, to own it? Why paint such a beautiful picture only to have it never be adequate? To throw it away for something new and shiny.
The answer seems so simple yet every day these impulses pull and tug on all fibers of hope. They break down our poorly constructed defense and for some reason, we find it easier to constantly need and want rather than appreciate what we already possess. Do not pity those around you or hunger for their accomplishments. Indulge in your triumphs and appreciate who you are.

I like this. You have a similar writing style/theme to myself. It’s interesting to read someone else’s perspective.
🙂 I love the message! So true. We need to stop always wanting what we don’t have; we’ve already got so much, like, SO much that we’re already never thankful for. If we get more stuff, it’ll be great for a while and then it will become part of the pile of stuff that we have and don’t appreciate, and then we’ll want something else.
