Hello there,

I've lost count of my attempts at creating a website that truly resonates with me — each one initially screaming "This is it, perfection!" only to end up in the virtual trash bin days later. This pattern of mine is all too familiar, mirroring much of my life. It almost feels like I'm constantly overflowing with brilliant ideas that often meet the same fate as those never brought to life. Can you relate? Perhaps you're on the same rollercoaster, pushing forward but never quite reaching that elusive destination. How is it that we all seem to carry untapped potential but somehow keep falling short? I've grappled with this part of myself for as long as I can remember. How many fantastic ideas have I excitedly shared, only for friends to think, "There she goes again," knowing it might not stick? When I catch these slip-ups, my thoughts race from worrying about what people may think to questioning my ability to get even the smallest things right. 

​

However, a few years ago I stumbled upon the Japanese concept of Kintsugi ("golden joinery"). It's this delicate art of repairing shattered pottery with lacquer infused with powdered gold, silver, or platinum (it's beautiful, you should search it up if you've never seen it!). I found myself pondering how many of my flawed creations could've been simply mended or accepted as part of my humanity — mistakes that are beautiful in their imperfections. Why do I always have to find something within me to be fixed? Will I ever be satisfied with what I have, and who I am now? It's not a secret that now and then, we struggle with insecurities.  

​

And for me, the only thing I've ever done right and keeps me going, is try and try again. 

​

"Our Imperfect Humanity," is a blog born from this dissatisfaction, a personal challenge to self-reflect and move forward no matter how tough life gets. Deep down, I've always had numerous wonderful stories and insights to share, inspired by the extraordinary encounters in my life — the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. Yet, I've kept them all to myself, scared of how the world would see me, the real me. As I'm on this journey of self-acceptance, I hope that you'll join me in embracing yourself unconditionally and learning to feel at home in your mind, body and soul.
