Imperfected Character....

Have so much to say and no words in the dictionary that I can use to express these thoughts or emotions running through my veins.

I check myself on a reg basis... Asking what I can do today to change something that may need changing... Not in the world; in me....

Knowing my strengths does not mean I think I am superior to anyone else.
Knowing my limits does not mean I think I am inferior to anyone else.

Knowing me just simply means I am me; I am where I am supposed to be in life and will get where I want to be when God feels it is my time to be where I should be....

Having a College degree does not make me smarter or full of wisdom ...
Having gone through all the experiences good and bad throughout my life have given me the smarts and wisdom I have at this precise moment....
This does not mean I did not make many mistakes or that I will not continue to make mistakes...
It simply means that I have acknowledged my errors; learned from them and do my very best not to repeat them....

I live with no regrets.

I am an opinionated person yet feel that I lack self expression... I understand me; however others don't...

I have learned that although I can change something about me in order to be a better me it does not mean I will be liked or loved by anyone or everyone; just simply means I will like me more than I did before the change....

I have acknowledged today that I can not and will not continue to lessen myself to make others feel better about themselves...

I wont lay low so that others can feel high and mighty...
I will continue to express myself courteously when I feel the need to...
I will not expect much from others so that I am not disappointed and maybe; just maybe with no expectations I will be pleasantly surprised by what others do or say....
If not; oh well... that's life...

But I am me... Simply Me... with all my imperfections... with all my words and silence.. with all my stress and anxieties... I am me.. Simply me... No better than you, nor you no better than me...

Simply Me... Not Perfect... Just Mari....
