You learn that acceptance of the places where you fall short allows you to start over and heal.
When you acknowledge your humanness, you understand that you might, and will, fall short.
Guilherme Stecanella
When you acknowledge that you are a person, you give yourself space to start over and to heal.
You find that being perfect is boring, and having mistakes and quirks and differences makes you interesting.
When you accept that you are imperfect, you realize how bland perfection truly is.
There is nothing unique, nothing notable, nothing different about something or someone without flaws.
Having a past, having a story, having blemishes and beauty marks and traits that make youyouthats interesting.
You learn to let go of what you cannot control.

You learn to slow down.
You learn acceptanceof whats happening around you, and most importantly, of yourself.
You find you are completely whole, even with blemishes and imperfections and past failures.
Imperfections do not make you inferior; your mistakes and failures do not make you inadequate.
Who you arebody and soulis shaped by every uniqueness and decision.
And you have been, and always will be, a complete person.
You stop seeking validation from people and things outside yourself and find it within your own soul.
Instead of searching for outside acceptance, you find it withinyourself.
You seek out what makes you different, rather than comparing yourself to images and ideas of the world.
You are not the world.
You see positivity in your reflection, and can look beyond the physical in yourself and those around you.
You seek light, and do not hold yourself, or others to unreachable standards.
You learn that your humanness means you have the capacity forself-love.
Instead of reinforcing negativity, you speak kindness to yourself and both encourage and forgive yourself for your shortcomings.
You see, for the first time, that perfection is not beautifulliving, stumbling, and continuing is.
And you celebrate this: your imperfect, beautiful humanness.
