I AM NOT PERFECT! I’d scream it from the highest mountain if I thought for a second those that have judged me would hear.

I AM NOT PERFECT! I’ll wear a shirt with the words boldly printed across the front so all within eyesight of me would see the statement as I come and I go.

I AM NOT PERFECT! I own my mistakes, both big and small, and self implement corrective action in an effort to never repeat the error again.

I AM NOT PERFECT! I’ll stand before a crowd and subject myself to the harshness of critics – I’ll pour my vulnerabilities out before them – welcoming their best attack against me.

I AM NOT PERFECT, but I’ll be good to you! At times when you don’t deserve it, during those moments when you can’t embrace it, even during those times that you can’t understand why, I’ll be good to you.

I’ll be good to you because I believe the good one puts into the atmosphere is returned in abundance and my imperfections need doses of goodness to rejuvenate my tired soul.

I AM NOT PERFECT, but I’ll be good to you! If an imperfect girl filled with honest to God goodness isn’t what you want in a friend, if it’s not what you’re looking for in a lover, if it’s not the neighbor of your choice, if it’s not ……… then please, LEAVE ME ALONE!

I AM NOT PERFECT, but I refuse to comply with your opinions of what I need to be. I’m me, and if that’s not perfect enough for you ………… I’ll be ok without you!
