  1. I overthink a lot. I need a lot of reassurance and need to repeat the same thing over and over again until it loses its emotional-energetic charge over me.
  2. I cry a lot and get emotional over really small things. 
  3. I take time to open up to newer people because of my past experiences that have left me questioning my worth.
  4. I love to spend time indoors more than going out and partying; I would much rather have a get-together with my close friends and family than with a lot of people.
  5. I still deal with imposter syndrome, I have overachieving tendencies, and I compare myself to other people time and again.
  6. I worry a lot about what my future is going to look like. I get anxious when there is uncertainty creeping in the hind, I like to have backups for all my backups.
  7. I spend a lot of my time alone, reflecting, introspecting and journaling. 
  8. I feel a mess from time and again. Sometimes it takes every effort in every ounce of my body to just get out of bed.

I am not perfect by any means, never will be. But my insecurities, my imperfections, my flaws make me, Me! 

Just like how my strengths, my beauties, my achievements make me.

This is my way of telling you, and more than you, myself, that I don't need to be perfect to be loved or live life.

I may laugh, I may dance, I may cry.

I may reach the dimwit ends of my sanity, yet I will never say goodbye.

To the beauty of life, to the bane of existence, I chose to take it one day at a time

To smile in the chaos, taking my own time to shine.
