imperfection: a poem.


uw botany garden: madison, wi

what if imperfection

is actually cute


imperfection

similar and opposite words:

defect // fault // flaw // deformity // discoloration // disfigurement // crack // break // scratch // blemish // stain


if you think about it, imperfection gives character & life.

i had a quote on my wall:

in nature, nothing is perfect and everything is beautiful. trees can


be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful.”


as @latenightephiphanies said

“imperfection creates connection. why? because even the person who think is the most perfect struggles. people don’t connect to perfect, it’s unrelatable.


“your every imperfection makes you the real you.” - suhanaa


i saw a q&a once asking for tips for body image, and one person responded: “think about all the people you've had crushes on: you didn’t care if they had imperfections.”


isn’t it the quirks that we love about each other?


there’s obviously big things that aren’t acceptable, but that’s different than little imperfections.


so maybe just notice little cute imperfections you love about other people.

and that you love about yourself.


let little cute imperfections make you smile ◡̈


& know that imperfect is real, making everything beautiful.


xo, kate
