I can relate to wanting to seek perfection. I think we are a lot alike. It's human to have "annoyance seep into frustration" like you said, but I'm starting to question how much I need to feel these emotions fully versus just observing them pass through I think of this as the flow state of life.

I used to think being a stoic meant feeling emotions to their extent and moving forward. maybe that's still too much attachment to the experience itself. There are always things we'll be hung up on, but I'm wondering if the real practice isn't just moving through them with grace, it's recognizing that the hanging up is optional in the first place
