am imperfect.
I leave the cap off the toothpaste {always}.
I can’t spell acommodation or embarassment.
I am clumsy.
I worry too much.
I exercise too little.
I have fluffy hair {not curly or straight, just fluffy}.
I waste too much money on magazines.
I still don’t know how to use my phone {& have only managed to store 3 numbers}.
I take blurry photos & lack focus {in life & in photos}.
I am scared of death.
I cry more than I’d like to admit.
I can’t say no.
I am hopeless at swimming.

I am imperfect, but I am trying to love myself anyway. And that’s okay. xx
This is part of a protest against perfectionism that Brene Brown has created {that I discovered via Susannah Conway}. I think it’s an amazing movement. Because perfectionism is out… {not that I know anyone perfect anyway, do you?}.
Love this. x
Loved this so much that I copied you on my own blog (hope you don't mind!)
This is lovely. And I'm so with you on crying too much and being totally crap at swimming xx
You sound perfectly delightful to me ; ) x
Fantastic. If I started listing all my imperfections, I'd be here all day. But I'm here. It's all good. 🙂
Loved this post!
You are perfect at being YOU! Now if only I could convince myself of that 😉 x
this was a beautiful entry… thanks for sharing 🙂
oh gosh, where to I start!
I love the idea of taking the pressure off this false idea that we need to be 'perfect'..
thanks for the link 🙂
It's definitely important that we all need to love ourselves, warts and all. Especially to show our kids so they can learn how to do it too. I hate that women are often so critical of themselves (and of each other). But looking at your list, um, if those are your only imperfections I think you ain't got nothin' to worry about! Kellie xx ps this is my first comment on your lovely blog. Hello! xx
Great post. But I think as much as we try to fight being imperfect and pretend to not care, I think we still all do way too much. I know I do, I am the worst at worrying about stupid things. Being a mum of 2 I try to do everything, & do it perfectly, mind you it never happens, lots of slip ups. But i keep pursuing it. Ahhhhhh how much simpler my life would be at just being, & being happy with it. Thanks for reminding me it's ok to be imperfect 🙂
*hands up* clearly imperfect over here 🙂
So happy to meet you! Welcome to the club!
😉
I love this post …. I try to go by the theory that I cant be good at everything all of the time, which kind of lets me get away with being crap at lots of things often. But I am ok with that (well most of the time) and just focus on the good stuff. Like I am great at shopping, and giving cuddles to my kids, and going to the movies, and laughing with my friends ….
did you write this list about me? perhaps imperfect minds think alike? x
Thank you for this post! it has inspired me to write my own. I love how honest you are, all the time.
we have the same kind of hair. *sigh*
mum tells me it's beautiful (as mum's are required to do) and i tell her it's the kind of hair you see in these makeover 'before' shots!
