Tuğba Avci, this is awesome.

You did it again.

Funny thing is...I have tried to develop a LIVING in doing things I'm bad at.

Maybe you or others have a term for it,...but I call it "success in motion".

Nothing is perfect....and I started giggling when you stated 'in a perfectly polished society'...because it's not. That's the lie, and it's a butt-kicker funny one, too.

Society WANTS to be polished perfect, and that, in itself, becomes the flaw...a big fuss-filled THING on Aunt Bessie's chin that no one can look away from, but ya just don't want to talk about it, either! That's society.

It ain't got no clothes on!!!

They key, I believe, and I could be wrong here,....is to be okay with yourself.

I'm an old, fluffy, grumpy, cartoonist and writer who uses words badly...for a LIVING.

Seriously, I'm SO bad at this,...but I know that when people interact with me, all my stupid still allows the LOVE I have for others comes through.

...typos and all.

I'm okay with that.

People are SO worth the moments of embarrassment I feel, so long as they know they are seen, appreciated and treasured by this old, grumpy, fluffy man, trying to tell stories to the world.

You're brilliant, Tuğba, I hope you know that =)

[hugs]

Thank you so much, Jaime! It's great to see you in the comments. Your comments are always so uplifting.

The idea of a "perfectly polished society" is all fake – we're all being tricked. It's a scam! These days, I love watching videos of people doing funny and cringeworthy things. It makes me feel more alive, as it's more human. I'm tired of this fake perfection, especially on Instagram.

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. Have a beautiful Sunday, Jaime 🖤
