I don't fit your mold.
Flawed, you say. But that's okay.
I'm perfectly me.
-----
I read a poem this morning in which the author was speaking about how none of us is perfect, though some people expect us to be. I thought, how ridiculous is that? Firstly, I agree. None of us are perfect. Secondly, what if we were? What if we could reach the point where everything we do, and everything we are cannot be improved upon because we'd already reached the peak? How boring would that be? Be yourself. Live. Be happy with who you are, and never stop striving for better.

I Like My Coffee Crisp
The spoiled human brat, is hissing like a cat. But I won't give it back. ---- A favourite snack of childhood that.... who am I kidding? It's still a favourite snack. Coffee Crisp. One of Canada's most popular chocolate bars. And just for fun, here is an old TV commercial for said snack.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.

Aww, I LOVED this!!!! Felt like a warm hug from you :)
loved it
Almost miss Abigail poetry corner. ♥️As teenagers we thought we have to fit a certain mold to be perfect. As adult you start not to care to be perfect. Being happy is all the perfection you need to be . Love you wise tail poetry Abigail. When are you going to publish your book ?
Heheh cute! Yes… how boring Cathy, too true! ☺️👏
My cat disagrees. She says she *is* perfect, and if you can't see that it's your fault! I love this.
Short and sweet and to the point. What is perfect but a perception anyway.
Right on Cathy!!✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
If I fits, I sits, even if I don't fits. Ahhh, such a cute picture.
Here, here.
Omggg, tell about it! It's soooo annoying when some people expect us to be perfect! Like hello, are you perfect? No? Then work on that and stop telling others to be perfect! Pot calling the kettle black. So much hypocrisy! Like just let us be happy the way we are! Gosh these kinda people infuriate me so much! Loved your Senryu!
Great poem and message. Love the photo too!
Great philosophy, great poem. The cat too big for the basket is just one of the many reasons that cats are adorable. Loved the pic!
Be yourself , you are the best at it

Fantastic!! Cheers to being perfectly ourselves!
It sure would be boring my friend. 😊
Oh this speaks volumes!! She is adorable!
Your picture works perfectly. Is it the correct size …no. But is she happy and content….clearly yes
Great poem and great picture! I apologize in advance for this, but she looks purrfectly comfortable being herself too!
Love the combination of picture & senryu! I made quite a similar comment back in high school on my final paper in utopian literature concerning my belief that utopia &/or heaven require opportunities for continuing growth.
Your cat is adorably funny
Best way to use a cat photo like this. This is great Cathy!
Lovely message and your cat is hilarious! 😆
Perfectly said.
Magnificent & loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
