As I explore the idea of finding joy in imperfection, I’m reminded of the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi and the Greek philosophy of Epicureanism. Both embrace the beauty of imperfections and find pleasure in life’s simple moments. I want to encourage you to appreciate the imperfections in yourself and the world around you, and to find beauty in the stories and history behind flawed objects and people. Let’s take the time to appreciate the differences in ourselves and others, and find joy in embracing our unique qualities.
