Entry No. 21

End of An Era

6 years ago, I published my first public journal entry.

An invitation into my world and journey to embrace imperfection.

Present day, my relationship with perfectionism is still very much a work in progress.

As it will always be. And that’s been the biggest lesson of it all.

My relationship with perfectionism will always be a work in progress.

We’re allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.

Embracing imperfection will be a life long journey for me and that’s absolutely ok.

My past few entries are proof there’s been a lot of inner-work and healing.

But there’s also been a lot of thriving. And a whole lot of somewhere in between.

And with this revelation comes the end of era and the beginning of another.

A new invitation into my inner-world embracing my journey as a Black woman.

A Black woman healing, thriving and somewhere in between.

To A New Era,
Kiera

P.S. What’s beautiful about documenting my journey in this way is having an archive of my evolution so as I end my Perfectly Imperfect era with endless, eternal gratitude, I’m sharing a handful of entries that the version of me 6 years ago would be so very proud of.

A Farewell Note From The Curator //

Wherever you are in the world, I hope and pray that you are safe and well.

What a journey Perfectly Imperfect has been from the very beginning.

I’m endlessly, eternally grateful to have grown and evolved on these pages in ways unimaginable.

Once I understood and accepted my relationship with perfectionism, I knew it was time.

Time to release perfectionism from consuming so much of my identity.

Time to pivot from perfectionism and turn the page.

As this journal ends, another begins.

Thank you for being here and evolving with me. It means the world.
