@penumbralpages · you do not have to be good
very liberating to make peace with the fact that I am not an entirely good person, that there are times when I am bad, I do hurtful things, that there are people who will never be able to look past my mistakes. because what matters is despite it all, I still try/want to be good

Perfectionism is a mindset that demands we perform as superbly as possible to be sufficient as a person. We conflate our goodness as a person with our performance in areas we care about—academics, our job, our social behavior, fitness, appearance, parenting, home organization, the list goes on.
