RE: Imperfect, Shine a Way, Original Poetry, Digital Art and Photography

This poem resonates with me.

I agree its your imperfections. The cracks, the loveable foibles that are your character and what people ultimately find appealing about a person.

I learned this lesson the hard way in life. I never tried to be perfect, but because of my cracks i felt inferior. Awkward and ugly. I knew i had talent but i always locked up half of who i was because I was somehow disgusted by my flaws. And therefore ashamed of myself.

The whole time people were always saying how great, charming, fun i was but i never saw it or believed it.

Now i learn to accept myself flaws and all. The cracks are what make me unique and some of the flaws actually make me a good person and define some of the more appealing parts of my character. In the end just being myself. And having fun with my flaws has made me much happier. And i shine brighter now that ive accepted my whole self and stopped hiding those aspects away.

Great poem You wrote with a lot of insight and wisdom in it.

Also i think the photography of the flower is a perfect metaphor. Its got some imperfections. But those same imperfections give it alot of its character and are what help to make it beautiful.
