Imperfections

I was reading through my Google Reader this morning and saw this post from Amy at Just a Titch.

A quote from the post:

Sometimes, I feel like I see so many pretty, perfectly arranged entries about lovely lives and adorable apartments and wonderful jobs and nothing ever seems to be wrong. I also know that I’m guilty of writing, at times, as if everything in my life is glorious, even when—especially when—it is not.

I completely agree with you, Amy!
I love blogging, reading blogs, etc. But there are so many blogs I read that the bloggers lives seem sooo perfect. I don’t think we should be pessimistic, sad or depressing all the time, but I think we should be realistic.

Personally, there are a lot of bloggers I look up to, because of their blogs, because of what they are doing with their lives, because of who they are etc….and sometimes I get discouraged. I think, “I could never accomplish my goals, my dreams like they do. Their lives are too perfect, they don’t have to struggle for anything.”
While I’m sure that’s not true in the least, that’s the way a lot of bloggers come across sometimes.

I think we need to let our imperfections, our struggles show.

So I’ll take a page from Amy and here are a list of my imperfections:
– When I’m really laughing, I snort.
– I get upset for no reason, often. I cry a lot too.
– I don’t clean my house as often as I should.
– I’m extremely needy.
– I often wonder if there is something seriously wrong with me because I have no friends.
– I wait until the dishes are overflowing before doing them, most of the time.
– I dream and dream and dream….and don’t do enough to accomplish any of it.
– I over-analyze everything.
– I worry constantly.
– I’m afraid of disappointing my mother more than anyone else.
– I’m afraid I will never truly find myself beautiful, inside or out.
– I get bored with myself, with life…and change my outside to make up for it. (hair dye, piercings, tattoo etc)

Those are just a handful of my imperfections.
I know you have some too. Are you willing to be open, to be honest and real?
Post your imperfections on your blog (or in the comments) and send me a link.
