KPop Demon Hunters: Why You Shouldn't Strive for Perfection

I recently saw KPop Demon Hunters for the first time, and I was BLOWN AWAY by its message. As someone who struggles with being authentic and honest, I related a lot to Rumi's internal conflict. I empathized with her self-consciousness around her demon marks, and the burning desire to get rid of them for good. The ways in which she puts up walls to conceal her insecurities really hit home. Like her, I often feel like I'd rather not go all-in on my life and my relationships until I feel "fixed" or "perfect."

In today's society, especially with the vapid music and media industry we're surrounded by, it can feel like everyone is striving for perfection. Flaws are seemingly unacceptable, and grounds for complete rejection. For those of us who are self-conscious in the first place, it can be a very scary thing trying to go out into this world while imperfect and wracked with obvious flaws. We get so scared by the prospect of judgement that we decide to hide our imperfections and only show the world a very controlled and edited version of ourselves.

Yet, this leads to a lot of internal strife, as we learn to lie in this way. We stop telling the truth to people--even our closest friends and family--just so we can sustain an image of flawlessness. But truly, as shown by KPop Demon Hunters, one of the best things you can do for your self-confidence is embrace your flaws, and show up every day despite your imperfections. It's a terrifying thing to show up in front of the world while you're still a "work-in-progress." But, truly, if you wait until you're perfect to join the world, then you'll be waiting forever.

I made a video expanding on these points, and I'd appreciate any views/feedback y'all have!
