I think we can all relate to the phrase, “Life of a Showgirl,” even if we aren’t Taylor Swift and/or literal showgirls. We all put on a show in our day-to-day lives whether we realize it or not. Posting on social media the good in our lives, presenting ourselves in a professional way in our workplace, or even just putting on a brave face when speaking to others. We like to put on a show and pretend like our lives are perfect, when in reality, no one is perfect. I learned that when I was in elementary school, watching Hannah Montana perform “Nobody’s Perfect.” Little did I know how much that would resonate with me now.

Now, there is nothing wrong with presenting yourself as something you may not be. That is just a human experience. I do, however, find solace in people who also don’t hide their imperfections. Imperfections make us humans, and make us unique. If you think about it, being perfect is rather boring. No spice in our life as I would say. Imperfections make us grow as individuals, and make you stronger. Especially when you learn to accept your imperfections.

Where am I going with all this? Honestly, I’m not quite sure. That sentence kind of resonates with me, because I think about what direction my life is headed every day. I think that’s just a staple in the life of a person in their mid 20s. Imperfections, questions, realizations, relating to things you watched when you were a kid, etc. Those are all things that help us grow. Grow into beautiful individuals with different lives, and different passions. I hope that not only I realize that this is all a process of growing, but everybody can take a different perspective on their day to day lives and realize that we are all growing.

In the end, this post in itself, is an imperfection. No real subject, no real resolution. But, that is what life is about, and I hope that someone can read this and take something away.
