Because life’s too short to chase perfect throw pillows and perfectly curated Pinterest boards.

 First off… What Even Is  Wabi-Sabi?

Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese philosophy that celebrates imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity.

In other words, it’s the deep sigh of relief that says:

“Hey, your chipped mug still holds coffee. You’re good.”

It’s about beauty in the imperfect, peace in the undone, and grace in the chaos. And honestly? It might be the permission slip we all need when we’re overthinking everything from Instagram captions to life decisions.

So… where do you fall on the Wabi-Sabi scale?

Let’s find out.

 What’s Your Wabi-Sabi Level?

Level 1: The Aesthetic Overthinker

You: “I just need to fix one more thing before I post it… oh wait, now I hate it.”

• Your Pinterest boards are perfection.
• Your phone is full of drafts you’ll “maybe post someday.”
• If there’s a smudge on your latte art, you’re not taking the picture.
• You say “I’m not a perfectionist” while reorganizing your fonts for the fifth time.

 Wabi-Sabi Tip: Post the photo. Launch the idea. Nobody’s zooming in on your flat lay, promise.

Level 2: The Recovering Perfectionist

You’ve realized perfection is a trap… but sometimes you still fall in.

• You’ve started letting typos live their truth (but you still wince).
• You mostly trust the process, but still want a backup plan for your backup plan.
• You embrace “done is better than perfect” — but only after 3 edits and a mini breakdown.

 Wabi-Sabi Tip: Progress is the new aesthetic. Celebrate the version of you that shows up anyway.

Level 3: The Zen(ish) Warrior

You’ve stopped chasing perfect, and started choosing real.

• You’ll post a no-filter selfie and sleep just fine.
• Your workspace looks lived-in, not like a magazine spread.
• You’re starting to love the messy middle — even when it’s loud and uncomfortable.

 Wabi-Sabi Tip: Your vibe is powerful because it’s real. Keep letting your authenticity speak louder than your edits.

Level 4: Full Wabi-Sabi Energy

You: “I launched it with a typo, spilled coffee on my shirt, and STILL crushed it.”

• You’ve stopped apologizing for being human.
• You laugh when things go sideways (mostly).
• You know your value has nothing to do with polish and everything to do with purpose.

 Wabi-Sabi Tip: Teach the rest of us your ways. You’re what Pinterest boards wish they were.

 So… Why Does This Matter?

Because perfection is exhausting.

And your vision? It doesn’t need perfect. It needs you — showing up, experimenting, learning, living.

Whether you’re a Level 1 overthinker or full Wabi-Sabi warrior, the key is this:

Stop waiting to be “ready.” Start showing up as you are.

Your chipped mug still holds magic. Your messy draft still holds value.

Your vision still matters, even if it comes with a little side-eye and a lot of opinions.

To wrap it up…..

Wabi-Sabi reminds us that it’s okay, beautiful, even ,to be a little undone, a little raw, a little real.

So go ahead:

Post the thing. Launch the idea. Wear the slightly-wrinkled shirt and own it.

And remember: the best things in life aren’t perfect. They’re honest.

Thank you so much for taking your time to read my post. Your support means the world! See you next time!
