Heyyy dotty, I’m not OK and you are not Ok but that’s perfectly OK.
Welcome to the club of humanity!

All my life I’ve been a perfectionist but off late I’m realizing, life is too short to chase perfection! And in the process, we miss out on the little imperfections that define us.

So whether you are gentle, wild, loud, messy, sweet, organized or anything else, be proud of who you are. Embrace your imperfections and strive to become a better version of yourself. Be brave, be strong, be honest, and humble. Speak your mind, take the road less traveled, explore all there is to explore, make mistakes, and learn from them. Be confident and be happy. Never compromise on your happiness in order to please others. If being imperfect brings peace of mind, there’s is no harm in being one. Life is all about living happily on your own terms.
Dear daughter, be original. Be ‘you’.
And always remember — mommy loves you to another galaxy and back!
Happy ‘Yours’ Day!!
