In my high school experience, I was not one to pursue the top accolades, yet I grappled with my own brand of perfectionism that manifested in lesser-known ways, such as enduring sickness just to not fall behind in school. This necessity to perform adequately stripped me of joy, illustrating that perfectionism is not always visible in overt achievements.
Now as a parent, my priority has shifted from achievement to happiness for my child. I want him to grow up without the burden of seeking perfection or constantly competing, allowing him to embrace his individuality and find joy in what brings him fulfillment, rather than just in what society deems 'successful'.
