I'm Not Perfect

Nobody is perfect? What does that mean?
To me it translates to nobody can meet the endless desires and standards of all living beings, in all places, at the same time.
There are people who do meet the standards of their jobs and schools.
In fact, there are people who are overachievers and exceed expected standards.
There are people who perfectly meet some standards.
You may be different from the standards of A, B, or C.
When you don’t look, say, or act how others want you will be called a word to make you feel... not perfect, for them.
When someone doesn’t say or act as I find pleasing and safe I will also call them a word to describe them as not perfect... for me.
So you are perfect.
You are perfectly you, different from, but not lacking in relevance as a living being.
You may not be perfect in the preference of another.
You may not be perfect in my preference.
But that preference is irrelevant to your intrinsic worth as an individual.
A word that makes you feel bad inside, when you aren’t hurting anybody, is not the definition of who you are.
Just because you don’t do what someone wants, doesn’t make you less than, except in the opinion of the one who wants their desires met through you.

Thank you. I love this. I once made a blog called "The unperfect perfectionist" (i purposely misspelled imperfect). because I always wanted everything to be perfect, but I know I can never be perfect. i have so many flaws :)
