From childhood, I liked to write. Many times I thought of starting a blog, but it never happened until now.
Whenever I felt like starting a blog, hundreds of thoughts were racing through my mind. I'm not from a literature background, I'm not fluent in English, who will read my blog, I don't have enough time, and blah, blah, blah.
But 2025 hit differently. I resigned from my job for valid reasons, took a break for almost six months, and later started applying for jobs.
During those 6 months, I was going through a lot of things and felt like I was doing something wrong and needed to think about what I like the most, and eventually got my answer, “writing”. The only thing I was afraid of was not being consistent.
But then I'm like, just give it a try and see how consistent I could be, and here started the journey of Lush Living Diaries. Initially, I was inconsistent, but later became consistent as I understood I really like to write. And nowadays, whenever I get time, I start writing.
So when I said stop chasing perfection, I didn't mean that you shouldn't give your best, but rather start with as little as you have and know.
You don’t have to be perfect and flawless when you start. With time, you'll get the hang of those skills and become a master of them.
Many people say creativity has ended after AI came into the market. Honestly speaking, I don't think so. Even AIs are continuously in search of new and unique ideas and copy from people who do that.
Also, I personally believe that you should never give up on something you love working on because this is what makes you happy.
So the conclusion is, don't stop being creative and don’t wait to become perfect. Time is running, and so is your time on this earth.
If you read this blog so far, it means you needed this. So start your journey from this moment and thrive in the field you want.
Difference between Passion and Perfection
Passion
When you can work on something continuously without being tired or worrying about the number of hours you worked.
This approach and dedication come under the term passion.
When I write, I never get bored and totally get involved in my work without being affected by outer noise. I won’t say I’m perfect in it, but I like what I do.
Perfection
For instance, you like to draw, but you are an amateur, and you are afraid to start, as you are continuously wondering how people would react or what people would say.
Here is the catch: drawing is your passion, but you feel you are not good enough to continue it, or you don’t have enough time to work on it, or you don’t have enough skill sets. So basically, you are chasing perfection.
In conclusion, don’t chase perfection. Start with how little you know, and you’ll find doors are automatically getting opened up for you.
Believe in yourself. Believe in your passion. When the Universe gifts you with something, that means it wants you to use it, not to waste it.
