Love Your Imperfections

Perfect people do not exist.

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” - Marilyn Monroe

So many people spend their days trying to be perfect. They continuously try to be the person that they feel society has deemed acceptable. They lose their wonderful, true self under layers of what they think others want them to be.

I am not perfect. This is a fact of life. One of the hardest things I have had to learn is that perfection is impossible. Not a single perfect person exists in the entire world. For years I tried to be the person I thought others would see as perfect, but I was unhappy and unsuccessful. Eventually I learned that perfection is impossible and embraced my flaws. I am so glad I did.

Your imperfections are what make you unique. Without them, you would be extremely boring. With them, you are beautiful. When you learn to love your flaws, life becomes so much more amazing, and you start to radiate confidence. When you are confident, you cannot be stopped. Embracing your imperfections is the first step to a lifetime of happiness.

I am not embarrassed to be myself. I used to be, but life was not nearly as much fun. I was constantly trying to fit in and was always unhappy. When I embraced who I was, I gained self-confidence. I became happier. I was free to become the best me that I could be.

I want this for you, too. I want you to love yourself. You are unique. You are beautiful. I think you are perfect just the way you are.

“Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.” - Dr. Seuss

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
