Perfectionism is the Garden of Eden growing reignless inside your mind- stems slowly seeping through the cracks of your skull until your lungs become scented with them, until your eyes are obscurred by rose thorns, until your voice and bones and fingertips are laced with vines.

 

An obsession, perhaps. 

 

A hunger.

Maze of memories by DawnOfTimes
14 parts Complete
People always say every life should be cherished. That every single one of them is equally fragile and precious. Like a beautiful glass sculpture or the blossoming flowers in spring. But the thing is, everyone's definition of beautiful is different. Some people prefer roses over orchids. Some of them like sculptures of people whereas others like sculptures of animals. And so there are times when even the most beautiful sculpture gets thrown away like trash or forgotten somewhere because they found one that's prettier. The beautiful flowers that bloomed in spring will wither away and eventually become nothing but dust. There are times when a sculpture in itself could be really beautiful but a tiny flaw will make people deem it as a "mistake". The flowers that are left to wither away just because they miss a leave, or because they aren't the right size or the right colour. So you see that saying about every life being equally precious?, yeah that only counts for the "perfect" ones. Still some of these faulty sculptures and broken flowers managed to make it into the world. They would be facing the harsh reality of this world and would have to fight to survive. Some of them would unfortunately lose this fight in the end, leaving to a faraway place in hopes to find peace and quiet. Still just being able to make it this far in this harsh world is something to be proud of, as friends and family will forever remember these brave individuals who fought hard to survive until the very end.

The Art of Enough (Finding Peace in a World That Wants More)

25 parts Complete

We live in a world that never stops asking for more. More success. More money. More followers. More everything. Yet, despite the endless chase, many of us feel emptier than ever. 📘 The Art of Enough: Finding Peace in a World That Wants More invites you to step off the treadmill of constant striving and rediscover the quiet power of sufficiency. Blending psychology, personal reflection, and timeless wisdom, this book explores why we are wired to never feel satisfied-and how we can break free from that cycle. Inside, you'll discover: 🌱 Why the brain craves "more" and how to retrain it. 🌱 How consumerism and social comparison fuel discontent. 🌱 The surprising science of gratitude and contentment. 🌱 Practical ways to simplify your goals, relationships, and daily life. 🌱 The courage to embrace ordinary moments-and find extraordinary peace. This is not a book about giving up ambition. It's about setting boundaries with it. It's about redefining success, slowing down, and learning to say: "This is enough." If you've ever felt tired of chasing, this book is your gentle reminder that you already have more than you think.
