THE QUESTION:

What is your biggest character flaw?

(The Real Cat Williamson On Quora)

THE ANSWER:

My biggest character flaw is that I am, indeed, an extremely FLAWED “character”:

• I’m sanctimonious and self-righteous at times, especially where parenting and motherhood are concerned.
• I can be cold, aloof, and distant.
• I’m the consummate “INFJ Rager“.
• I have VERY inflexible boundaries.
• I’M WAY TOO PROTECTIVE OF MY PERSONAL SPACE!
• I always forgive, but never forget! Once I’ve been pushed to my extreme outer limits, the privilege of becoming INVISIBLE is yours! I can literally erase people from my mind.
• I’m NOT a huge fan of a victim mentality, and have very little patience for it (even though I USED to be the “victim” myself)!
• I have unfair double standards.
• I CURSE WAY TOO DAMN MUCH!
• I REFUSE TO ALLOW TOXIC ENERGY IN MY ATMOSPHERE!

Keep in mind that this list could go on forever, and that these are just a FEW of my “lowlights”! While I’m not proud of ANY of them, I’m working on ALL of them ALWAYS! With the exception, of course, of my avid disdain for both narcissists and “mothers” who abandon, abuse, neglect, or emotionally torture their children. In my mind, those “things” aren’t even human, so I am wholly unable to extend any grace in those directions. Sorry. NOT SORRY! I’m only human, after all, and YES, I have a “dark side“, so I’m just letting God work out all my details.

Meanwhile …

What if I told you that FAILING to be the PERFECT human character and learning to be okay with it – NO – WAIT – BETTER than okay with it, is likewise THE greatest success of all?

Embrace your f**kin’ flaws, my friends, ’cause you were never meant to be a “Stepford CHARACTER” – PLUS – “perfection” is fuckin’ BORING! Now that I think of it, “perfection” is a LIE, so, don’t buy in to all that BULLSHIT!

Look, if it isn’t gonna matter a month from now, a year from now, or when you’re kissing this world bye-bye, just cut yourself a break, revel in all your messiness, forgive yourself when you FUCK UP, and laugh at yourself as much as possible! Lol! Why do you think I’m laughing all the time? It’s usually because of ME and the stupid things I do, ’cause I’m probably one of THE biggest human clusterfucks I’ve ever known. That’s not self deprecation by the way – it’s self awareness, self appreciation, AND self LOVE!

Hi everyone! It’s me, The REAL Fuckin’ IMPERFECT Cat! I wouldn’t change a FUCKING thing about myself. NOT ONE! I’m the beautiful disaster QUEEN God made, unfiltered sailor’s mouth and all, and I’m riding this chaos bus I’m on all the way down my VERY bumpy road until the bittersweet, beautiful end!
