I honestly feel like I can truly relate to the voice in this narrative. Today, it is so easy to be blinded by the idea of perfection, especially when the message often promoted in society tells us that, "You either have to be the best, the worst or different to be remembered".
Who doesn't want to be remembered? It really is one of the highest forms of glorification, and one would be lying if he were to say that it never mattered to him. To many of us, who are still trying to figure ourselves out, that message implicates that perfection/being best is the only way for us to be accounted for as a significant member of the society (because why would being "worst" be anyone's aim?). That isn't true. Yet some of us fall victim to this pressure, and let ourselves be swayed and encouraged to follow through a set of guidelines in order to be the epitome of what we deem, 'perfection'. Little do we realize the standards we're setting for ourselves. In truth, is perfection even possible? Is it realistic?
I like how the author adresses this issue that's growing in trend among youths nowadays, and ultimately gives advice on how to tackle it. Content-wise, it is brief, focused and really gives us readers a clear idea of the struggle encountered, which is helpful. Kudos to the author for that.
