To what may be the perfect pumpkin? Must it be round, bright, with not a speck of dirt on it? Or could it be something else?Who’s to say that a small, bumpy, purple pumpkin is not perfect?Who’s to say that a large, plump, fiery orange one is?Some are good for carving.Some are good for eating.Some are just good decorations.But they are ALL important.There is no such thing as a perfect pumpkin, because there is no such thing as perfect.Everyone, pumpkin or not, is beautiful in their own way. We try our best. We have our differences. And that’s wonderful.So whether you take that pumpkin and carve a massive smile or draw a simple face, whether it’s covered in lumps or as smooth as glass, it’s unique, and that’s amazing.There is no perfection, no feeling of right or wrong or good or bad. There’s just a pumpkin, amazing as it is.There’s just you. Amazing as you are.
