No one is perfect... I'm talking about both the outside and inside, appearance la, personality, watever... It is good to 'fun dou' and try achieving a better and better you, but being a perfectionist or requiring oneself to be perfect is just another form of extreme.

Something happened today led me contemplating on the strong, independent, intellectual ME. I know it is natural for one to hide their weaknesses from others, but I realize me trying hard to present the tough, smart, 'all-knowing' side of me is rather pretentious. Honestly, it doesn't really help you hide anything. Letting go of the 'unwilling to accept defeat' me; lowering my ego opened my eyes to the supportive crowd around me. Thanks for defending my self-esteem... knowing that it is okay to be bad at some things and admit to being horrible at those things.

I should learn toappreciate myself more and allow myself to tolerate the things that don't like about myself. I think this is true for everyone, especially for a few that I am close to, this is bcuz i really do care ^___^
