I’m Not Perfect
Lyrics:
I’m not perfect, no I’m not,
I’m not perfect, But I’ve got what I’ve got,
I do my very best, do my very best, do my very best each day,
But I’m not perfect, and you know I like it that way.
Well anyhow, this really got me thinking. I am still a recovering perfectionist. Letting go of my approval addiction and my perfectionism is a huge part of my recovery from my disordered eating. And while I have made a lot of progress, it is still worth singing to myself on those days that those old parts of my personality creep up on me. So thank you to Chloe for giving me a song in my heart this week 
A mantra, really–”I’m not perfect, and you know I like it that way.”
