a perfectionist in the process of growing up.

it is a hard job. being in a perfectionist in an imperfect world. it means continually frowning at the irrelevant. it means fighting off the urge to smooth every wrinkle on a white shirt. it means long nights trying to remember every little detail on textbooks to get 100% on exams. it means being the dictatorial bossy person in group project. it means constant cycle of writing and deleting. it means a lot, a lot of self-criticism.

it means the world is not and never perfect.

being a perfectionist in the process of growing up is hard. being a selectively-introverted perfectionist with anxiety is even harder.

the perfectionist side does not allow anything that is less than impeccable to represent itself. the selective introvert side does not want strangers to know of its story and existence. while the anxiety side tries to run away from social pressures and criticisms.

all the characteristics that made of who I am prevent me from freely putting myself and my thoughts out to the open world. that is why I decided to create the.violescent.

I have created a place,

where a selectively-introverted perfectionist with anxiety

is allowed to make mistakes.
