Picture Perfect: Imperfectly Perfect

Picture perfect makes me gag. What makes people interesting are their imperfections. I can’t relate to someone if they are unwilling to drop their guard and be vulnerable. The things I heart about my friends and many bloggers who I feel connected to are their quirkiness and willingness to be vulnerable, it’s admiring.

I’m an emotional girl. I wear my heart on my sleeve for better or for worse. I post the posts that I do b/c it is where I am in that particular moment. Shauna said it quite eloquently:

This is a blog. My personal accounting of life. My opinions. And an attempt to be an authentic record of where I am in the moment, rather than a prettied-up picture of the self I think I should present.
I’m off to the Bay tonight to see the family, be good, I hope I have I-net.

I agree. I prefer "imperfectly perfect" myself.

Shauna hit it right on the nose. I like Roonie's too.
