I'm Sorry I'm Not Perfect Novels & Stories

I said with tears streaming down my face I was nothing close to perfect

Stopped him dead in his tracks. "No. I am not perfect and that is my point. You will put me on a pedestal. You will raise me up incredibly high and I won't ever be able to reach that image. Over time you will start to resent me. Hate me for who I truly am. I can't be this for you." "But-" "I'm sorry."

what the hell is wrong with me? "I'm sorry."I let out, remorsefully. "I don't like the way you behave sometimes. "She murmured. "What way? Tell me...I'll change." "This...you keep talking about change and being perfect...it's tiring to listen to sometimes." I blinked. "I'm just trying to be exactly what you want."

Sure, it might work but I loved her, and I was going to try to be better for her, and so I went with plain honesty. "I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, that may not be enough or what you want to hear right now, but it's all I got. I love you so much and if you give me another chance I promise you that I will never mess up that much again." I said and she rose one brow as if urging me to correct a misword. "I will not mess up. Not even small, I'm not perfect but I'll try to be, for you because that is what we do for the people we love, we try to be perfect for them.

I was surprised to hear her think like that. “What are you saying, Poppy? No one is truly perfect. I'm not even the ideal wife. My husband has his shortcomings too. None of our kids are without their faults. Take Faith, for instance—no matter how kind-hearted he is, I wouldn’t call him perfect. Maybe as a partner, yes, I believe he’ll be a perfect husband for you. But he has his weaknesses too, which means he isn’t perfect either. Every person has their own unique set of flaws, whether they’re physical or mental. That’s what makes us special, Poppy. It’s perfectly okay not to be flawless. Those imperfections help shape our identity. If everyone were perfect, we’d miss out on the chance to le

This is why no matter how shitty my mood is, I'd never allow it to show because I knew they'd probe and there are things I can't tell them. Things I couldn't even whisper to myself. "Okay guys. I'm sorry I acted like that. It's just the stress of my sister taking a toil on everyone in the family. I'm sorry I snapped at you guys." Kunle moved even closer to her and he grabbed her hands that were clampsed together. "Sophia, it's okay. We're your friends and we'll always be there for you. We know it's not easy and you're thoughing it. You're a very strong lady. Hmm?"

It’s not just the support—it’s the way he says it, with complete certainty, like I’m all he needs to be happy. I swallow hard, my throat tight as I try to hold back the tears threatening to spill over. “You’re too good to me,” I murmur, the guilt gnawing at me even more. “I’m not,” he replies quickly, shaking his head. “You’re the one who’s too hard on yourself.” He reaches out, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. “You don’t have to be perfect, Nicola. You’re allowed to miss things, to mess up. That’s life.”

But αll of them were looking αt me with hope‚ αnd thαt wαs whαt reαlly hit me. “I know I've sαid this before, αnd I'll sαy it αgαin. I’m not perfect. Fαr from it. I hαve flαws. I’ve mαde mistαkes. I’ve been through α lot‚ αnd I know mαny of you hαve too. But still… still you believed in me. You voted for me. You gαve me this chαnce. And I just wαnt to sαy thαnk you. From the bottom of my heαrt‚ thαnk you.” I pαused for α second‚ letting the silence settle for just α beαt before continuing.

I nod my head and start getting ready. I have known sadness, grief, and guilt. But losing someone. Never. The makeup lays bare in front of me. My fingers stop over the concealer. But they don't hold it. As if, telling me to lay all my emotions naked. Being perfect is a standard I have always gone for. Today I would change it. I would show the imperfections. Because they are the ones that make me more alive.

I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know I am so sorry that I haven't updated at all. I have been dealing with a lot in my personal life that has kept me from writing. I want you to all know that I am trying my best and will endeavor to write more. I am sorry for letting you down in my writing as of late. I can't wait to be in a place that I can write more freely, but I am not there as of right now. I hope you are all having a great life and that you continue to enjoy reading. ~A*i~
