Part of being perfect is embracing yourself as a whole. Be exactly what you are. I don't like the sense of accepting your flaws because I don't believe that we are flawed. I have bad days, but they aren't really bad in any definition of the word. They are just how they are. This is not a mistake. Things happen as events that are cause and effect. We remember bad things too much more than good things.

To feel a good sense of balance, accept and learn from the good things that "happen" to you the same way as the bad. we tend to remember the bad and overshadow the good like it never happened. Great, something good happened. Next. Why is that? We definitely focus and lament that "mistakes" are made and try to learn from them to prevent that from happening again. Why not view a good thing the same way? Focus, learn and remember how that thing turned out well for next time rather than dismiss it. Good things are not a fluke because they happen with the same cause and effect rule as bad things. Don't miss out on either though, both are equally important to your life. Love them.

So I am perfect. I let myself have bad moods. I let myself have happy moods. My mind and body and soul need them. I actually feel abnormal when I deny myself the emotion that I am going to feel. face it. it is there and it is you. let yourself be you. It is unhealthy and unfair to deny that. Feel badly for as long as you need. Feel elated for as much as you can get.

I am perfect because I am exactly how I am. I have ten toes, curvy boobs, and a witchy nose. If I had ten crooked toes, flat boobs, and a straight nose, I'd be perfect too. Whatever you are in your entirety is what you are and exactly that. There is no such thing as accepting a flawed body. Just as you are, and nothing more or less is perfect. You can't be perfect if you just had that one thing that you are missing. you can't be perfect if you are jealous of someone else's perfection. Popeye said it best, "I yam what I yam." Popeye is perfect.

Don't "work with what you got" by any means. That sounds so negative. Be what you got and never see yourself short. I know exactly who I am and what I am all about. It feels good to be in my skin. "Be yourself?" what the hell does that mean? People say that all the time and have no clue.

I am perfect and so are you. Just deal, alright?

This feel good message is brought to you by the letter S and the number 6 and the SG member schoolgirl who loves you very much.

Hah...I thought that was going to be a public service announcement type of thing. They should have a commercial of you saying that in between all of the TV shows and ads with actors/actresses and models making people feel imperfect.

Of course you're perfect doll. I always said so. I'm glad you know that you are wonderful exactly as you are. Not enough people understand the concept of beauty well enough to appreciate their own selves. When we think of beauty, we often forget to include ourselves. I find that Donovan's "Happiness Runs" helps that out alot. In short, you're all beautiful and wonderful creatures. You, schoolgirl, just happen to be among the bestest of the cutest of the kickassy-est of them all.

this goes hand in hand with my personal belief that there is someone just right for each and every one of us in the world, it's just up to you to find that "perfect" person!
This is why I love reading your posts, you seem to know exactly how to put thoughts into words!

How much do I just love you. It's so hard to find a woman who is pretty, smart, and has introspective thoughts that she can actually regconize and rationalize...nevermind actually put them down on paper!

i liked that entry. it is so true...

lately im imbalanced from almost too much good [still cant stop thinking about the events of may 1]...which is of course a good thing...it was good to see that people do accept me, and that right there has profoundly impacted me and i cant see the extent of what has been done, but surely it was a very positive influence.

though i will make a note of this and i should apply it to my high school experience...that will be my next journal entry.

"Don't "work with what you got" by any means."

So true--part of what makes a person appealing to me is when you can tell they are truly themself, and not trying to work their way into the category they believe they belong in.

Are you a practicing Bokonist or something? I've been trying for years to be a Philosophical Taoist (as opposed to a religious Taoist), but I'm not very good at it. I'm too good at getting mad and kicking things (its my Scottish heritage, don't you know) to be a good Philosphical Taoist.
