They say the perfect blog entry doesn’t exist…

I've wanted to write blog entries regularly for a while now. I've wanted to do a lot of things regularly for a while now. I've wanted to do everything regularly forever. And that's the problem.

Lately I have had my perfectionism pretty prominently in the forefront of my attention. It's a great saying I've heard that I never realized I was a perfectionist until I realized I had never done anything perfectly ever. It kind of takes a minute to really digest but I find it eye opening. Classically I think people envision perfectionists as people who nail down every detail and won't allow anything to go for less than their standards. But that is in actuality a healthy doer! See, the standards part of that is subjective. So as long as a person is putting things out to their own standards, it is indeed perfect to them, or at the very least acceptable, and they actually manage to create and produce and perform. Consistently.

On the contrary though, if you are out there thinking that the things you make and do are always substandard in your eyes, even though your friends and family are proud of you for pushing that boulder further and further up the hill, then that means you have unhealthy standards. And that, my friend is perfectionism, the ultimate enemy of the good, and of progress. So here I am putting this wonderfully complete and perfect set of words out into the ether of the internet. Knowing full well it will likely have a small reach, and will likely leave out some things I wanted too say on the topic. But at the same time, I have many opportunities to do better and worse than this, and the key is that I just have opportunities to do. Period. So I will. I'll hit publish, sentence fragments, and sentences starting with and or but, and all.

I'd say I'll have more soon, but shit I don't really know if I will. What I can say for sure is I will have more. I don't know when, I don't know how good, but I'll be back!
