June 10th : Imperfection

In my calc class, there's so many people I don't know. Every semester I tell myself I'm gonna tell myself I'm gonna meet everyone in the class. I pulled it off in Fall semester I think. I gotta talk to as many people as I can tomorrow, we only have a couple more days till the class ends.

I studied a little today. I went to class, I fell asleep in class. The things we are learning right now is hard to understand now. After class ended, me and my friends were asking each other about our weekends. I stumbled upon a very good joke that I immediately wrote down on my notes app.

Imperfection

It's hard to accept that we are flawed beings. We will make mistakes, and continue to make mistakes. When chasing perfection in work, I often don't finish neither publish my work. I justify myself by saying it's not good enough, while aiming for excelling is great. The work has to be separated from the artist, no matter how well it's done it will be scrutinized. This leads to nothing being done, behind the fear of not being perfect, we cower and do not produce our best work. Imperfection paves the way toward great work. The great artist Prince, would make music nonstop, and he would only do a couple takes. I know many artists that redo a song many times, until it sounds just right. Prince argues that there is something about the first take, something very human about it. It captures the emotion, and that moment. After rehearsing the line many times, it looses the human nature behind it, and starts sounding rehearsed. People can hear the the mistakes, but that makes it more human, and more relatable. Our mistakes, represent our humanity, and give us humility. There is an air of perfection behind each of our imperfections.
