Beauty of Imperfection, Imperfection of Beauty

Beauty and imperfection are two key aspects of my life. I used to think of them as unrelated, but they are so intertwined I don't know how I didn't notice before. So here's to beauty, and to imperfection, and the beauty of imperfection, and the imperfection of beauty.

It’s like the whole world is moving, and I’m standing still.

I can’t do this. I don’t want this. I wanted this to be over, I let it be over. And then I changed my mind. And I didn’t want it to be over. And I got it back. But now I want it to be over. But I can’t, because then I would be, like, the world’s worst person, and friend.

I haven’t changed. I’ve just matured. But everything else is changing. And I just want everything to slow down, take a minute, revel in the beauty of the world. Stop moving so fast. Stop moving at all. Just…stop. Take a deep breath.

And keep living. Living, for now, and for the future.

Not for the past.
