Wear That Lehenga

Last year, in June, I got a really pretty lehenga material to make a dress. I loved the color and the designs—it felt like a dream come true. At that time, I also had a bad skin problem and was quite thin. It made me feel really insecure.

So, instead of wearing the dress, I decided to wait until my skin got better and I gained some weight. Now, seven months later, I feel kind of embarrassed about it. Why did I think I had to be perfect before enjoying something nice? This way of thinking didn’t just affect my clothes; it happened in other parts of my life too. I always felt like I had to be perfect to be a part of something or to deserve something.

But now, I understand that waiting for everything to be perfect is not a good idea. I won’t waste chances because I’m waiting to be perfect. Instead, I’ll be okay with being a bit vulnerable and face challenges.

So, my advice is:

Stop waiting to be perfect with English to talk to people.

Stop waiting for the perfect weight to join dating pool.

Stop waiting for perfect grades to apply for the job.

Stop waiting for perfect time to start work.

Just go for it now. Life is happening, and it’s better to take the chance rather than waiting for everything to be just right. Embrace the uncertanity.
