Hi noa. At least I can do real. And it is reassuring to know that real is enough, even though it doesn't feel like it. I am fighting the feeling that life is a popularity contest, a talent show. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'm not very good at naming my tune, if you know what I mean. I have to fight the desire to punch someone when they ask me what I do.
I meant it about the perfectionism; I've been paralyzed by it in many ways. It's not easy to do things when you require yourself to know something perfectly before you ever learn it. That place where you get to explore who you are and how you express it was skillfully damaged--it is the place I'd like most to recover.
