I Am Not Perfect I am not perfect. I have said the wrong things, trusted the wrong people, stayed longer than I should have, and made decisions I wish I could take back. I have had moments I am proud of and moments I would rather forget. I have been strong when I should have rested and silent when I should have spoken. I am a collection of lessons, mistakes, growth, and second chances. But I am no longer at war with my imperfections. They are proof that I lived, loved, trusted, tried, failed, and kept going. I do not need to be flawless to be worthy of love, respect, or happiness. I am human. And being human means carrying both beauty and brokenness, wisdom and mistakes, strength and vulnerability all at once. That does not make me less valuable, it makes me real.
