#be helpful

Today I sat on the floor and sorted every invoice, by binder only. It's not sorted by month nor by number. I didn't do the whole task correctly, I half-assed the job. All while thinking that though they may not be in the right room, at least they're now in the right house, so you don't have to knock at every door in the city anymore.

I was assigned a task I couldn't do, so I did half of it. Can you believe it? I did half of something that was impossible for me to do, turning it into smaller, manageable tasks that I can now get to some other time.

So here's to all of you broken people out there: you're only broken when looked at through a capitalist lens. Half-ass things. Take care of your brain. Don't try to make things perfect just to feel like shit when you either a) inevitably fail, or b) don't even try because you're afraid you'll fail; because perfection doesn't exist.

We've been conditioned by capitalism to believe in an ideal that nobody can reach. Perfection is unattainable because it's not a thing. How comforting is that?

How warm and reassuring is the knowledge that all we can do to make life better is just that: make it better?

The world doesn't need you to be perfect, it needs you to lend a hand. Be helpful to those in need, and don't give your best to those you wouldn't give your worst fighting for.
