weaknesses?

today i just took a step back and looked at my weaknesses. not just "oh i am sometimes late" or "well, i occasionally bite my nails". i mean like those deep down, dirty, honest weaknesses.

mine? obviously the first is that i like to pretend i am perfect. it's so much easier to point out every other person's flaws than my own. that's gross. not an attractive quality to have. so i'm working on it. and i'm working on it by being honest about my flaws.

i am also irrational. i think the most ridiculous things. i think people wont like me if i'm not perfect. i think if i eat potato chips i will gain 15 pounds. irrational.

but what if i started owning the fact that i am just an irrational person. maybe it wouldn't be a flaw but an endearing quirk? what constitutes a flaw? can all flaws be fixed? should all flaws be fixed?

food for thought. chew on it.
