I’m not perfect.
I am going to make mistakes.
I am and forever will be a work in progress.
I know that no matter how hard I try, there are somethings that I am just not going to excel at.
I know that I am not always sunshine and rainbows to be around. I can be sad and moody too.
I have lazy days where I don’t want to go anywhere or do anything.
I do forget things from time to time.
I do find myself running late to things even when it’s only me going.
I have absolutely horrible handwriting.
I have my millions of blonde moments.
I hold a great love for words but I’m not always able to speak.
I don’t always find the right words to express how I feel. (Especially when I am emotionally overloaded.)
I admit, that sometimes in my wiliness to help everyone, I find that I can’t do everything I said I would.
I have times when I let my anger get the best of me.
I have hurt those I care most about.
But…
I know how to apologize. People aren’t usually able to stay mad at me for long. I give the best hugs.
I try my best to release my anger in healthy forms, like running, writing, art, singing and killing people in video games.
I am always here to help when people need me. I am more than willing to lend a hand.
I know that once I process things, I can find the words I need. I can usually write down what I feel much easier than saying it. My words flow easily on paper.
I know sometimes it’s best to remain silent.
I have found that my silly moments often give me a chance to have a good laugh at myself.
I have heard some people say the most intelligent creative people have the worst handwriting.
I might be late but I make up for it once I’m there.
I keep all sorts of lists to help me remember what I need to do. This is so my crazy brain doesn’t have to keep it all under wraps.
I have learned it is ok to relax. Keeping busy is fun, but chill days are also important.
I know my dark days are normally few and far between. Even during those days, if you see me on them, I’m still gonna give you a smile. Try to make you laugh.
I am still determined to continue trying even if I do not excel in something. This is especially the case if it is something I love doing. I love a good challenge.
I am always willing to learn. The day I stop learning should be the day that I am no longer here.
I believe mistakes help me learn the right way to do things.
I feel that perfection is far too hard to achieve and impossible to maintain. It is way overrated!
I have learned that one of the hardest things to do in this world is be okay with who you are. Make sure if you are going to set yourself on fire that you are prepared to rise from the ashes anew. It is important to be able to love yourself beyond your imperfections. When you can love yourself, you can allow others to love you as well.
