I Just Found Out That I'm A Perfectionist
Finished, Not Perfect.
Hey yall! Man oh man! It’s been a while since we’ve been
together here on this platform! I always say I’d like to get better about
posting regularly here… and I always mean it, but then I get crazed with a
million other things to do! OR… and this is the most common one, I get started,
I don’t really like it, I work on it forever and ever, and then it never gets
finished. And it just stays in the annals of my documents folder.
I have a few girlfriends who share very similar interests
and are creative entrepreneurs, and whenever we get coffee and talk about our
various projects, we always come back to the idea that we just don’t think it’s
(What IT may be) perfect enough to put out for the world to see. Whether that
may be a blog post, or a piece of artwork, or a song, or a garment we’re
making. All of these ongoing creative project we have that we want to share,
but we hold ourselves back by our perfectionism.
I’m going to be honest: I never thought I was a
perfectionist. Until I tried posting about my capsule wardrobe. I tried to cram
everything about my capsule wardrobe into one post. Not surprisingly, It was
very difficult to organize. The post got really long and convoluted, I got
discouraged, and ended up never posting anything about it!
Well, since I’ve started sewing, I’ve really wanted to being
sharing my projects with you here, and all the fun gadgets that can make your
sewing projects easier, quicker, and blah blah blah, while being a source of
encouragement. But even now as I type this out I’m thinking: This isn’t good
enough. What a silly thought. Good enough for what? An award? A pat on the
back? Who I am REALLY trying to impress? I’m not trying to impress anyone,
gross!
I’m just here to share my journey, my relationship with
Jesus, and my projects, whatever they may be, in hopes that they encourage
women to embrace the woman that God made them to be and have confidence to go
after things they love!
The outfits you have made are super cute!
