Perfect for me

When someone says 
"perfect,"
many immediately think
"flawless."
They hear the word,
and they picture no
problems,
no issues, 
nothing to worry about.
But how perfect 
would this world truly be,
if there was nothing to
worry about,
nothing to strive for?
If I am scared,
nervous about something,
it simply feels so much better
when I work hard 
to acknowledge it,
to achieve it,
to adapt to it, even. 
What would life look like 
with no goals,
no dreams,
nothing to try for?
When someone says,
"Nothing's perfect,"
know that nothing can be
exactly right,
but it can be exactly right 
for you. 
When I think of perfect,
I think of something being
perfect for me,
for my life,
for my world.
