I don’t have to be perfect.
Sometimes I fall.
Sometimes life’s shit gets to me.
Occasionally I just stumble.
I don’t stumble on purpose.
I stumble because I’m human.
I stumble because I’m not perfect.
In life we do things,
some we wish we had never done.
But they make us who we are and in the end, shape every detail about us.
It’s ok not be perfect.
I don’t have to be perfect to be lovable.
I don’t have to be perfect to be a good parent.
I don’t have to be perfect to be a friend.
I don’t have to be perfect to feel worthy.
I don’t have to be perfect to make a difference.
I am where I need to be.
I just have to be me.
Very well written!!!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
It is. The moment I saw it I knew I had to use it for one of my posts. 🦋
I love the painted face photo. Just beautiful.
Oh Bernice this is beautiful! I get such a sense of acceptance and kindness. Really appreciate you! You hold a positive Light focus, and that is such a gift. Blessings, and keep on forgiving! Debbie

Thank you for sharing this beautiful post for perfectionists like myself. I was just contemplating redoing some chores I did yesterday because they were not done to my usual high standard. Thank you for saving me hours of work.

You can do them another day. Do something for yourself today. 😉🌻
Perfect is boring! Imperfect is exciting! Love this.
It’s way more fun to be imperfect! 😉
Way more!! 😄
Powerful images.
Thank you! 🌻
Beautifully written ❤️
I like to say that I’m a recovering perfectionist. It takes daily reminders and inspiration to keep this pest at bay.
Well written and expressed! None are perfect less our Heavenly Father and He is all we need!

The best lesson I ever learned …. Be present not perfect.💕
I like that. Good words to live by. 🦋
Yes
Words that so many of us can relate to and breaking free of perfectionist thinking is a road worth traveling.
Please see my latest post with the opportunity to share a rewrite of a poem you have written in the past. I want to honor and celebrate the process of revision. I always appreciate your words.
Sounds like fun. I will look into it.
Thanks for considering.

True, all is beautiful and loved.
Thankfully none of us are perfect. If we were then no one would try to be better. I am not perfect, nor do I wish to be.
Like the way you think. 🙂
You may not be perfect but this is absolutely PERFECT!
Aww. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face.
A couple of things.
“Sometimes life’s shit gets to me.” So true. It happens with everyone. A lovable shit. Ha.
“But they make us who we are and in the end, shape every detail about us.” Without them, we are incomplete. They develop our souls.
“I just have to be me.” A super powerful message.
Love your words.
Live well.
Thanks my friend.
You’re welcome.
“I just have to be me” so rightly said. Powerful message!
Thank you for the confirmation! 🙂
Yes, quite so
A powerful poem. I’ m not perfect either but I am happy with that.
💜👍
