For I am not Perfect - Just Unique

I am not voluptuous or lady-like in looks or gestures.
I am a tomboy at heart
I am striving and have a sturdy sense of self-esteem.
I am egoistic and bluntly rude at times.
I love my home but there are days when I detest going in the kitchen, doing the laundry or washing the dishes
I like hanging out with my friends but I love my family outings the most.
I can argue till the moon goes to bed.
I am critical and blinkered
I am fanatical about plans and generally have a Plan C and D prepared in case A and B fail.
I like my space and want you to have yours.
I crib, nag and complain at times when I am totally pissed off
I am self-seeking and clingy - occasionally both at the same time.
I am not patient or prudent
I forgive easily but never forget.
I hate nosy relatives and people and feel my life would’ve been better without them.
I am sometimes perplexed about where I wish to be and what I wish to do.
I make excuses for petty things when I don’t need to but still have the urge to.
I know all my “faults” and understand that perfection is but
A falsehood
A delusion
A non-achievable
Superlative.
It doesn’t imply I don’t strive to become a better human being,
More forbearing
Less critical
More accommodating
Less reproachful.

It doesn’t imply I don’t try to work upon my limitations.

It implies comprehending that perfection isn’t a standard by which we must evaluate ourselves or fellow
humans.
I am not perfect.
However my imperfections make me the distinctive individual
I am.
For I am unique.
They make me the actual me - not the being I wish to be or pretend to be
but the individual I am.
I am not perfect.

What about you?

I too feel that all the so called imperfections make us unique, and that's what makes this society flavorful. For without this wouldn't we all be some perfect clones of a same kind:) nice post!
