The grief is real - for all the art, creativity,
expression, beauty I didn't create because of perfectionism and
the fear of failure, judgement and rejection.

But, inevitably, perfectionism would betray me.

Perfectionism is just shame masquerading as discipline. Inside
the delusion of shame and not-enoughness was a world of hurt -
chronic burnout, perpetual injuries, broken trust, failed
relationships. Perfectionism wasn’t making me better; it was
making me miserable. When I think back to all the time and energy
that I invested in proving and performing, when I could have been
loving, connecting and creating. The cost of my addiction was
irreparable, but the choice to do something different, to own my
imperfections and appreciate my worth without conditions, was
profoundly shifting.

While I'm still recovering from this affliction, these days I'm
practicing making art even if it sucks. I'm giving myself
permission to take risks and fail forward. I'm celebrating my
mistakes and opportunities to learn and grow. And I'm surrounding
myself by creatives who have said "enough" to waiting around
until things are so-called 'perfect' and letting ourselves be
seen, heard and appreciated because we matter and our art
matters.
