"Strive for progress, not perfection" -un
Have you ever felt like giving up?
Have you ever felt like your presentation is not as great?
Have you ever felt like your best is not good enough?
It is A-OK.
It is respectable.
Start forgiving yourself. Start understanding yourself. Start loving yourself.
All you Hannah Montana fans, you know the drill. Imagine having blonde straight hair, grab your most sparkly outfit, your personal microphone and-
SING WITH ME 🎤
Nobody's perfect!
I gotta work it!
Again and again 'till I get it right
Nobody's perfect!
You live and you learn it!
And if I mess it up sometimes
Nobody's perfect
Wasn't that fun? I bet your inner fangirl screamed a little. hehe. The point is, there is no such thing as "good enough" or "perfect". Learn to accept and cherish yourself. That is one of the best ways to be thankful for having the chance to live one more day. I guarantee you will feel better about yourself.
Another thing, follow your heart and don't be afraid to express yourself. I can't tell you enough how many times I neglected the power of passion. Obviously, I fought my own dark mind now. I am pursuing my dream to be a blogger and hope to give an impact on at least one of my readers. On that note, I want to share a letter in hope that I will sprinkle even a dust of motivation.
When writing the letter, I got a little emotional as I had my sister and my girlfriends in mind. Shoutout to them for virtually helping me publish this letter.
Enjoy.
A letter for my Heather.
Heather,
Do
you know what is important? Good guess. It is not what people think of
you that takes into account but what you think of yourself. We often
forget that the biggest critic is ourselves. As cliché as it sounds, it
is the truth. First and foremost, Heather, I am utterly sorry for not
having the guts to talk to you face to face. The last time we met, you
were shattered and I was taken aback. To make it up, here is a letter
for you.
Heather, I know you did your absolute best and I am so proud of you. Heather, look how far you have come. I know it was a roller coaster but you made it. Even with the negative load people put on your shoulder, the ugly words people threw at you, the horrible rumors people spread around you, you made it. You went through high school and graduated. You showed to the world that you are more than who they think you are. Most importantly, you proved to yourself that you are capable of so much more. Exact revenge.
It is not about how quick or how well you achieve your goal, Heather. Everyone will get there, eventually. What makes you different is the determination you have to get through the obstacles and hardships. Everyone is unique and special, including you, my dear friend Heather. You were not less fortunate, you simply walked on a different pathway. And that is definitely okay.
Now the next stage in life, are you prepared? I sure am not but we will go through this, together. My dad once remarked, "dream big to win big". Don't you agree with him? As you know, I am certainly not an idle dreamer. I wish to change the society's way of thinking. I am not sure how, but I will. You too can dream big, and live the life you want. The happy and positive life. You are going to get there, I promise.

Evidently,
with the positivity and passion I carry in my mind and heart, I am
where I am. I am where I should be. I am where I will be. My dear friend
Heather, we will go on this journey together. I believe in you, you
know I do. You have my hand in yours, I give you my word of honour. When
you are ready to face the world again, let's meet up and have a proper
chat. I'll be at your beck and call.
With that, I end my letter here.
Yours,
Delphinium Rose.
