I myself have started many projects that go undone. This piece you wrote is very inspring because I have realized that not everything I do needs to be perfect especially trying to parent 2 kids. That is always a difficult thing feeling like you are the worst parent in the world when you strive to be the best. My husband is also an inspiration, he jumped headfirst into learning about what the internet could do for our family and has learned so much in the past 4 years.

Absolutely agree, in that you have to live with imperfections both with yourself, and with your partner. That’s supposed to be a part of life. But the most important thing is too keep on the “improvement mode” all the time, and not give up at anything.

You guys inspire me. I enjoy programming game projects as a hobby and I feel I become more perfectionist because of it. I have often deliberately written sloppy code to give some room for growth. I also started writing funny comments and log messages as art. This made me think if not most problem solving and logical thinking skills have perfectionism side effects – like the airplane pilot that always gets corrected by his control tower.

[...] I thank him and go home. That night I did not shower but again drank a few beers and partied. The next day, however, was anything BUT normal. The entire day I felt like I was lighter, almost like I was floating just a little. I wrote in my journal about some realizations about myself and life. I accepted myself on a whole new level and came to terms with my own imperfections (which led to this post). [...]

Wow man, that was beautiful. I think that was the first time I stopped and became present after reading a comment. You’re totally right about the imperfection in the roots and the corners, I didn’t even think about it that way. The imperfection makes it real, I suppose, like nature. True nature is beautiful, as you mention, with all its unique imperfections….thanks Bart.
