Perfectionism is one of these things that hurt us without even realizing it.

A few days ago, as often happens, I found myself lying awake in bed at 4 AM, and I started reflecting on my career and what I might have done differently if I could go back 25 years to when I was 18. I woke up at 5:30 AM, took some notes, and over the following days, I decided to transform them into this essay. I often engage in this kind of retrospective, not because I am unhappy with where I am today, but to identify what still needs to be improved in my personal life and career.
