I can be Bougie (and not always in a good way).
I am often judgemental.
I am far too opinionated and can often say insensitive things without meaning to.
I can be lazy.
I love to procrastinate on projects.
I can be argumentative.
I am sometimes just plain evil.
I can be selfish and short tempered.
Every so often, I like to take a strong look at my faults and reflect. I don’t have these in check all the time. I am a work in progress and today……I realized, that I need some work.
I can’t control anyone else. I can only control me.
I know I can do better. I will do better.
I’m taking inventory and although I am pretty well-stocked, some items need to go. Some stuff needs to be thrown out and some needs to be replaced with an improved product.

Wow! Because you just posted the very things that were in my head today. Thank you for the reminder that everyone struggles with their faults. I will work on changing mine as well.

LMAO @ “Don’t be humble. You’re not that great.” –Golda Meir. I think being a work in progress is the fun part about life. It means you have something to work toward.

We’re all a work in progress. It’s good to recognize our faults; it keeps us humble.

Good one, I’m going to use this one today!

Sigh.
Sometimes my faults outweigh my intentions. But then I remember that this is the day that the Lord has made…I will rejoice and be glad in it.

In a nutshell, to wrap it all up, you could’ve said “I am human.”
I think the isshas come in when people are looking at us and for some reason, we’re suppose to be perfect people. That’s not gonna happen. We’re under construction til the day we die.
