Thank you for this article – it really resonates with me. For a long time, I felt trapped by the need to be perfect, constantly trying to meet the expectations of others – whether it was my parents, society, or relationships. I thought perfection would make me worthy, but instead, it caused anxiety, self-doubt, and a disconnect from who I really am.
Discovering the concept of wabi sabi has been freeing. Embracing imperfection has allowed me to let go of unrealistic expectations and focus on my own journey. It’s a reminder that there’s beauty in flaws, growth, and the lessons life brings.
Thanks for sharing, Zhenya! As a designer, I've learned that creativity is not about seeking perfection, but about embracing openness, curiosity, and the flaws that make our work — and us — authentic.
It's also about adapting to uncertainty and making continuous adjustments through movement in what we do. Great reminder!
