One day I sat perfectly still for what seemed like days.
All my life, you see, I'd been searching for change.
And then one day -- it came.
I opened my eyes for the very first time.
And what I saw was beautiful.
And perfect.
And unlike anything I'd ever seen.
I finally saw myself.
And realized I was enough.

Hey Sar,
Cool quotie...where is it from? Reminds me of something I picked up from My So Called Life (my favorite show of all times):

"Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison. And the crime is how much we hate ourselves. And admit the truth - that when you really look closely, people are so strange and so complicated that they're actually...beautiful. Possibly even me."

And I KNOW you're beautiful, inside and out!

Hi. I love your statement on Perfect. Going to read this to my teenage daughter who is in constant search of "perfect"! Help me! JK.

Anyway, saw your sunset photo and liked it a lot. I'll try to post one of mine off Australia's Victoria Coast.

Cheers!

Thank you! I have no idea where I found the quote. I entered it on here almost eight years ago. Wow, time flies!

I am so sorry that your daughter struggles with perfectionism as well. It's such a difficult trap to get stuck in.
