yes i can write, study, sing, cook, talk better but why do i have to every time?? why is better always desirable? why do i have to prove the true depths of my talents & capabilities w every little project??

i am someone who is either all in or not
i dont like to half ass stuff because
1- i was taught that half ass-ing anything was a waste of my own and everyone else's time and time is something that should be valued
2- im just not someone who half asses anything by nature
i am someone who puts their heart and soul into something and i wont stop until it is perfect
not to someone else but to me
so if i know i can do better i will always at least will TRY to do so
but this is low key so fucking debilitating
in my quest to make perfection i am quite literally chaining myself
its all a balancing act that i always struggle to keep up with and maintain

sometimes i get frustrated when i’m at a low point in drive, inspiration, or general productivity, but phases— highs, lows, and in betweens— are an inevitable feature of life. wouldn’t it be mundane if things were perfect all the time, if we didn’t have something to strive for. there are phases where i listen to music nonstop, phases when i’m into podcasts. phases when i work out and cook for myself, and phases when i eat out every day. phases when i want to go out every night and phases where i just want to be alone. a life lived cyclically is not a life i want to live, and i think at a point we need to allow ourselves to be in the off phases in order to succeed in the great ones. i’m trying to be better to not beat myself up when i’m not at my very best, because how can we be expected to maintain perfection in a world of constant change.

can't think in terms of diff art mediums rn but i have this idea of ‘twin songs’, ie songs that just belong together in my mind for whatever reason? like phases by blaize jenkins and you are mine by mutemath. i know you by faye webster and smoke signals by phoebe bridgers. to wish impossible things by the cure and when the sun hits by slowdive. lovers rock by tv girl & in the city by chromatics. it's endless tbh but fun to think about
