There really is no perfect moment to do things. Right? So just do them anyway - or so the saying goes. But that feels a bit simplistic, i feel like there’s more here, more nuance. Because sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. And other times it feels like I am overwhelmed by life's distractions. A humming feeling of how there's constantly no time. Or perhaps it’s a feeling of not enough - as if I am simply lacking enough attention or time to do it. That if I had more time, I would do it. Recently though I’ve been finding myself in not ideal places or situations. And thinking to myself, "This is as good of a time as any." It challenges my assumption that I have to be in a place or time that is perfect - which in turn expands the idea of what's possible. It turns out a lot more opens up like one day learning how to swim, only to realize the ocean isn’t just a place to view but an activity you can participate in It opens up and unlocks time that previously thought stationary. Little moments in life that you think is humanly impossible. Also a separate thought stepping back a bit. Even if you had time, how would it end up being spent anyway? Ultimately? There's a saying that "80% is good enough" because being 80% full leaves you with just enough yearning for that last 20%. It leaves you with a sense of potential for more and what can be. And we need that hope, ironically that sense of unfinished and unfulfilled - it is ironically the imperfectly perfect state. Because if it wasn’t, it wouldn't drive us to yearn for more. And this yearning, might just be one of the most important things. Because if everything was perfect, it would be over, and it's not — which is the perfect thing
