Best and Worst

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
- Marilyn Monroe

I think many of us have already heard of this quote before. I can't help but love it though because no one seems to think like this anymore. We're always trying to show our best side to everyone, even those who are closest to us. But why are we trying so hard? Our friends are our friends and that shouldn't change just because we have faults. I understand wanting to look and be our best and maybe even hiding some of our flaws to the general population, but why can't we relax around the people who care about us best?

There's only two people that I can think of that I'm completely and utterly relaxed around. That's sad. I mean I'm myself around everyone but I'm not completely myself and completely comfortable with my flaws with anyone but two people. They've accepted me at my worse and sure as heck have proven to deserve me at my best.

I'm outspoken, loud, also a little insecure, selfish, indecisive at times, stubborn, have a lower self-esteem, too forgiving, and have many other negative characteristics. If you can't accept this then you don't deserve to know about my positive characteristics.
