I am joining Brene Brown's most awesome Perfect Protest in honor of her insightful book The Gifts of Imperfection. I'm looking forward to reading it.
I've always thought that I had to be perfect.... to be loved, to be liked, to be happy. I've spent years trying to be perfect, a task that has very nearly broken me. Now I'm slowly learning that being my best self doesn't mean having to be perfect. That people will still love me inspite of my imperfections. That the world will not stop if I'm not perfect.
Now I'm working on letting go of what other people think and instead knowing that who I am is enough.

This is beautiful. Something I very much need to do as well. Getting stronger at it everyday, but having been where we've been it can be so hard. Thanks for sharing this. I need to look into that book. :)
