Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece. Are you an eldest daughter by chance πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚? Our relationship to perfectionism tends to leave us disappointed more often than not when our sky high expectations fall short of 100%. What a beautiful reminder that Joy isn’t a reward, but rather a necessity for a balanced life.

Yes, I am a certified member of the eldest daughter club. πŸ˜‚ And you hit the nail on the head about perfectionism. Cheers to us πŸ₯‚

So liberating to tap into the innocence of wonder again. I've noticed the same thing in my life. When I get too concerned with "what other people will think," my joy drains. When my joy drains, ironically, what I create also loses color. I value your courage and inspiration. Thanks Rah
