In this speech the author is arguing that no one in the world should try to be perfect because it is unachievable for any human being. The only perfect thing out there is God. She thinks that it is too large of a load to carry trying to be the best of the best at everything. Most teenagers and some adults never had the epiphany that there is no way to be perfect…ever.
When you try to be perfect at something because you’re trying to impress someone else you completely lose yourself in the process. People need to strive for their best, and come to the understanding that it won’t be perfect. How does society deal with that? For most people it is hard. Seeing many famous beautiful people out there, you ask yourself why you can’t be as pretty or as good of a singer as them. But you never fail to see the paparazzi get a snapshot of them picking their nose out in public, or something embarrassing. You should realize that heck they obviously aren’t perfect. Looks can be deceiving and just because you think you or others look perfect there are many different people with different images of what they believe perfect is. Someone’s ideal husband might be a long bearded scruffy looking guy and on the contrary others might want the clean shaved business type. Also if someone might look perfect on the outside they might not be on the inside.
Once you find someone that you love no matter what flaws you have they will love you for who you are. Instead of striving to look like the most attractive supermodel, you should strive to be the best you can be. Be yourself. If we spend too much energy trying to be like others we lose ourselves in the process. After college the author realized that it was a lot easier trying to be yourself without caring what other people thought about you. She felt more at ease and stress free with almost everything she did. Being your own individual makes you unique and beautiful. God wants us to be just the way he created us to be, that is why we all look different from each other. There is not one person in the world that is identical to the other which is beauty in itself. We weren’t made to be like others. There is no need to hide who we are with masks of fake identities.
Not only are we hiding ourselves from being negatively judged by others but from our self as well. It would benefit you more if you were yourself, but first you have to find yourself. Don’t chase others dreams because they image what you believe perfection looks like. It is never too late to start finding yourself, so take off the mask you’ve been hiding behind and show everyone who you really are. Be the person that doesn’t care about other’s opinions but rather the person that does what they want because it makes them feel good.
