being a perfectionist can hurt your potential. you can't run from ugliness. you can't fix all things that are broken. you can't find your desired life. don't intimidate your future, don't lay out a road for yourself where there are no sharp turns or stop signs. life will take the lead. all mistakes will happen. and you need to witness everything before you decide what to choose. not everything that shines is gold, and vice versa. - mf
