Australian Leading Actor Dan Ewing shares his story on the ImperfectlyPerfect Podcast

‘Being Imperfectly Perfect to me means the celebration of individuality and celebrating what we are. You are never going to be perfect. I mean, what is perfection, you know? Perfect to me is chasing that best version of yourself right, and you are never ever going to catch them because we are untapped, unlimited potential. We are beings with unlimited potential. We are all energy, we all all connected to this. Everything on this planet is energy so for me it’s the celebration of individuality and difference. Paradoxically we are all connected so we are all the same.’ - @_danewing

I have jumped onto the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign run by the very talented Glenn Marsden.

It is work like this that will chisel away at the stigmas build up around mental health especially within men. His unforgiving images cast a light over an important darkness in men that needs to be seen.

Being raised in an Australian masculine culture your often told “you’ll be right” and “don’t be a pussy”, iv felt myself and I’m sure its the same for a lot of other young men a sense of embarrassment for having a feeling that shows vulnerability.

The feeling is bad enough isn’t it? Let alone a sense of shame for having it on top of it.

Thats why we need to break down this built up world of bravado and show everyone, being vulnerable and brave enough to voice it, is truly masculine in its own beautifully feminine way.

Growing up with the world of social media your shown so many perfectly illustrated lives or the other side of the coin, constant saddening truths.

Where is the middle ground? When have you seen a post of someone saying “oh I’m feeling a little anxious and sad for some reason today”?

I think its these everyday trepidations that build up on us.

This is why I think its so important to check in with yourself and others when feelings arise. It could take a simple word from a loved one that can turn us away from the thought. Better to be the self evolving fool that asks the question, then to sit within the thought for however long your willing to hold onto it. It’s absolutely fine to not be ok.. it’s all part of the ride. “I wanted to write down exactly what I felt, but somehow the paper remained empty..... .....and I could not have described it any better” - Tim Franklin
