My Many Imperfections: Intro
My Many Imperfections: Intro
Today, at Bible study, I had a "tip of the iceberg" moment when we were discussing all the perfections that are posted on social media and how those have a negative effect on our views of ourselves and our abilities. We are presented with the best of everyone's life, we deposit it as "a necessary quality I need to also possess some day" and we never reach that moment when we turn into the perfect person that is all those social media posts combined.
So, I decided to bring back my blogging days and write for 10 days about the major imperfections that are my life. Imperfections that are embarrassing, but hopefully real enough to help people realize it's ok to be comfortable with who we are! (I could start with the fact that autocorrect had to correct my incorrect spelling of the word "embarrassing.") Oops. When did they stick that extra R in there?
Anyway, I am committing to posting for 10 days in a row about something that is more than imperfect about me and posting it for the world to see. I am not adding another chapter to the book of Lamentations here... I will be seeking no assurance, no pity, and no solutions. I just want to be real and throw it out there! I'm choosing 10 days, because I'm not perfect and if I actually get 10 days in a row posted I'll be amazed, and let's face it, I could do this for years and years if I didn't put an end to it!
So people, let's get real. Let's stop "putting a good face on" and be honest with each other! See ya tomorrow for Day 1. :)
