My friend Sarah wrote this post a few years ago. I read it at a time when my life was pretty much chaos. It’s just a post about a quilt she made, but it somehow spoke to me. And stuck.
This:
Perfection is so overrated. It shouldn’t even be here, as sheets aren’t supposed to be used in quilts. Pffftt, says the little pink quilt. Don’t get stuck in other people’s rules. And don’t ever feel “done”. Maybe you’re just being remade.
It all came at a time when I felt that I needed to be remade. To stop fighting expectations and self-doubt and a complete lack of self-worth. To let it all go, if I could, and let whatever is waiting come thru the door, and meet it with a level eye and an open heart.
So this is about being remade. Just like the little pink quilt.
Pffftt, I say. I’m not done yet.
