How to Fight Perfectionism

1. Delete “ought”, “must” and “should” from your vocabulary.

2. Get rid of all unrealistic goals, and replace them with realistic, achievable goals.

3. Accept and love yourself unconditionally.

4. Recognize that NOBODY is perfect – despite what the media, or other people, say.

5. Love your quirks and value your uniqueness.

6. See mistakes as lessons on the road to success.

7. Notice all the positives, and small accomplishments.

8. Enjoy, and be thankful for, the good things in your life.

A shout out to all the rarepairs writers and artists:

Your pairing might not ever grow bigger than just you but don’t ever let that stop you from writing or drawing it.

Make those lonely unwanted babies fall in love and you never know, you might start to make others love them too.

Please let your the creators in your fandom know you appreciate them. Be it an artist, writer, gif maker, edit maker, crafter. Everyone wants to know they’re not doing something for nothing. A tiny like or reblog, a ao3 comment or a plethora of flailing comments in tags, just show them you want them to keep bringing their talents to your fandom. It can make someone’s day just that much brighter.
