balance

My tumblr post from earlier in the month and saving it on here because I really like it and I need to constantly remind myself of this:

It’s honestly so weird being able to be care less and be more free, going with the flow, and taking it easy. The first few weeks of college was really hard for me, because the perfectionist side of me wanted to do well in every aspect of college life. I wanted the very best grades, social life, and I had it planned it all out how I’m going to balance everything out. Boy, I was wrong. Balance is NOT about planning; it is about going with the flow, making mistakes, fixing them, being unbalanced, and balanced again. Balance is not about perfectionism; it is about being imperfect in everything, but finding beauty and happiness in having imperfections in everything. I thought I knew what maintaining “balance” meant because I even got that as my tattoo, haha. But really, balance is the key to happiness. 

Take it easy. Let life just take you. Everything is going to be ok.
