Doesnt Really Matter - Tumblr Posts

I wanna send people asks about their HC’s on drarry and other HP stuff. If you’re interested, pls reblog this post and put in the tags what I can ask about. I’m curious to hear what other people think

Something that’s helped me IMMENSELY in my new “adulting” life is learning not to sweat the details.

I grew up an academic. Math has always been one of my best subjects. In math, either you get the whole question right, or you get nothing (at best, some measly partial credit). That means it’s essential to do each step perfectly along the way; no single piece is less important than another. This has imprinted on my brain as “everything has to be perfect all the time, forever.”

Except, as I’ve recently learned, that’s simply not how it works in real life.

Nothing is an exact science - in life, everything has an acceptable range of close-ness. It’s usually not a strict range, either; as long as you fall within it, you’re doing great. If the recipe calls for a pinch of salt, and you second-guess yourself on whether you accidentally added two pinches, it’s probably fine. No one’s gonna notice. Adding the whole bottle of salt is too much, yes, but a little extra doesn’t hurt. Same goes for that picture on your wall that’s 0.5° tilted, or the hole in your jeans, or even that one time you said something awkward.

Unfortunately, there are people who notice this stuff. If they joke about it, that’s fine; they’re not serious. Some people are very serious about it, however. Their range is shortened to perfection, and they force it on others. Good news: I can confirm they’re toxic. Don’t bother working or dealing with them unless you absolutely must.

Because if you’re two minutes late to class, you haven’t missed anything; it doesn’t really matter.
