We are reasons so unreal
We can’t help but feel that something has been lost
But please you know you’re just like me
Next time I promise we’ll be
Perfect
Perfect
“Perfect” – Smashing Pumpkins
My problem is that I’ve been trained to be perfect. For a good several months, my job was to be perfect. No where else was I allowed even one mistake. I was trained to be exact. I was told “Don’t assume anything.” I wasn’t allowed to think for myself. Mindless slaves of one functionally illiterate person. Ask ask ask. If you don’t know, ask.
It is true. I was called on misspellings in my emails. Proceedure was more important than the actual outcome.
This has affected me greatly. Both in my personal and spiritual life. I can’t possibly be perfect. And now I am afraid of making even minor mistakes.
The good thing is God’s grace. Christians aren’t perfect people. Just forgiven.
