Broken Wings

"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." - Anna Quindlen

I've come across such a great, and obvious revelation. This may have been what has been dragging me down in everything. It makes me just quiver with excitement when I think about it! Ready?

I don't have to be perfect. Everything I do doesn't have to be perfect, how I look doesn't have to be perfect! Sure, doing my best is one thing, but striving towards something I could never have made it to... well, that is damn impossible!

I've drawn so many inspiring pictures(to me), written so many pages in my notebook that was decent fiction, just to throw them away because they weren't perfect. Not to mention hours upon hours of pain, just to seem beautiful to my peers.

Why should I care what others think of me?

That's been eating at me for at least a year now. Teasing and bullying put a toll on you when to strive to look perfect in everyone's eyes. I'm so glad to finally break myself into pieces and rebuild my life the way I want it.

Aaanyway, this is young Vulcan, a phoenix/fox, flying on newly healed wings(inspired by Broken Wings - Tomoko Tane). Ignore the crappy signature, I was playing around to make my own little tag to stick on my drawings.
