Would it help at all to know that a human out in the world (me) already believes you to be perfect? Or does that further uphold the high expectations? Because if it's perfection you want you have already been there. But if you are avoiding perfection altogether, I can understand how being considered perfect wouldn't help.
I just want you to know that no matter how you feel about a project personally, Girl in Space AND Write now have both impacted me positively. I have been dying to know what happens to X for so long I created my own second sun in a dnd campaign I've been running for a few years. Named it Ra and everything.
When it comes to curing myself of profectism I give myself projects that are a safe place to not be perfect. I'm a paper crafter so being perfect could make a difference but then I would never put a sticker down anywhere. I have so many side paper craft journals for just when I want to create. And while I can remember thinking and feeling parts could be perfected I still get to look at a finished piece and be proud.
Anyway, process isn't a straight line and can look however you need it to look.
"Overcome Perfectionism with This One Little Tr--oh, crap! Wait--with *This* One--no...that's not right...okay--with These Two..."

Oh gosh. What beautiful and kind thing to say. And I love your perspective on creating a safe space to be imperfect. Truly, thank you. 🙏
