I am not perfect

And I need not be.

Days have gone by with me staring at the naked sky and wondering where I went wrong. Should I have tried better? Did I miss out on something? A lost opportunity? Why did I never get accepted the way I was genuinely? I never really did speak about myself much, thought it was rather quite petty. Or should I have? Was I a fool? Where would I have gone anyway with this back benched people pleasing attitude?

Just then, I fathomed out.

I may not be perfect. I may be different from what you know as the stereotypical woman, the kind you were educated and brought up with. But I am me. And I am happy, confident, strong and comfortable in my own skin. I have seen enough for my age, at least I am happy I came a long way all by my own honing my intutive skills simultaneously while dealing with the regular ways of life. One may or may not like me for what I am, but I will be there, for myself. And neither is it up to me to please everyone around and force agree to everything that I perceive. Wouldn't that be hypocritical of me too?

I always have had been told what to do - the right and the wrong, without letting me analyse myself, and I need not be. I have had my share of being ridiculed, criticized, and letting others take the advantage of judging me, belittling me. Have been labelled lot of names, I'm sure, but I chose not to be one. I came out, and I conquered - myself most of all. Really didn't need to put much effort, because I knew myself most of all more than anyone else. I had the faith to trust myself to choose between the right and the wrong, to be happy or be glum, to be human.

To all those who find themselves weak, uncertain, depressed, and bare, come out if your shells and give yourself the power that has been hiding inside you. Have control over yourself more than anyone else. Love yourself and life every moment of your life. Perfection has its own flaws, add something that makes you unique
