Be Beautiful Today. Practically Imperfect in every way.
Who wants to be perfect anyway.
Be beautiful today. Practically Imperfect...Because
Be beautiful today.
Neither flawless, nor polished.
Just beautifully, rebelliously you.
Be the kind of beautiful that
is a laugh that wasn’t planned,
a thought that wanders into brilliance,
a memory that softens your shoulders,
a scar that decided not to hide, but to glow.
Be practically imperfect,
the way a misshaped handmade bowl is cherished
because your thumbprint still proudly shows.
The way a garden is lovelier
when one wildflower refuses to stay in line.
The way a life becomes art
only when it stops trying to be a brochure.
Nobody wants perfect.
Perfect is sterile.
Perfect is silent and a tad bit sad.
Perfect is a room with no windows.
But you ~~~
you are a window thrown wide open.
You are breeze and sunlight
and the scent of something new
blooming in your garden
even if you can’t name it yet.
So be beautiful today
in the way only you can be:
unrepeatable, unedited,
a little wild around the edges,
and entirely, gloriously real.
