perfectionism and letting go

a short and poignant self reflection on how perfectionism is limiting my writing & how i'm working on overcoming it

Let me tell you a story.

Last week my pharmacy called to tell me one of my medications was rejected by my health insurance. I logged into my account, went to the prescription section, and based on my research, my pharmacy was in network and my medication was 100% covered. I called the insurance company only for the representative to have a bad audio connection. From what I could understand, they would only cover the medication if I ordered it through the partner service even though the website said it would be 100% covered through my pharmacy. I called the partner service, but they are only able to help me with orders through their own service. In the end, I gave in and ordered it through the service.

This partner service is going to ship a three month supply straight to my door for zero dollars. It is objectively easier and cheaper than getting it from my pharmacy. But I know I am right, and I should be able to get my medication through my pharmacy.
