your daily rock : love your imperfection

January 18, 2014 in Daily Rock, General

Oh, to embrace our imperfections–so freeing, so human, and so real.

As Iain Thomas has written, “But life isn’t something that should be edited. Life shouldn’t be cut. The only way you’ll ever discover what it truly means to be alive and human is by sharing the full experience of what it means to be human and each blemish and freckle that comes with it.”

We keep so much hidden. What a relief to let it out, our perfectly imperfect selves. That’s where the art is, the fire.

Love the darkness of your self today, all those blemishes that make you human.

Love,
