Perfection sound lovely

The Jumbled Perfectionist
The Odyssey

Why does it feel like the world is spinning in a thousand different ways? Why does it feel that life as we know it may be a compete lie. I am experiencing this right now, in the present day due to how many places I work at and how many hours I am working; or maybe its just everything all at once? I don't know if maybe I thought my superpowers are greater than I realized they were? Maybe I am just worried about being a disappointment to people or maybe I just don't want to disappoint myself?

The idea of disappointing other people makes my soul unhappy. I feel like I am not being the perfectionist that I expect myself to be. Why do I expect myself to be perfect? To be honest I don't really know. I just have extremely high standard for myself. I want to be perfect! It's almost like I need to be perfect. Maybe because I don't want to disappoint my parents, or maybe it's because I don't want to disappoint my dead brother, or maybe I just don't want to be an imperfect human. But, in reality we are all imperfect humans.

Maybe its my thoughts being so jumbled tonight. Or, maybe I am just extremely into being a perfectionist. But, I need to not be so hard on myself and just remember I am still human after-all.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
