“Perfectionism… I come from a family that culturally values perfectionism a lot… It’s good to have good grades and a good job, but when it gets tied to unhealthy expectations about what you can tell society (about yourself)… that’s where the problem lies.”
“[For] those other things that people often don’t like to talk about… Is there a way to build a perfect life around (your own unique needs)?”
