Weakness

They won’t admit their weaknesses. But that’s where it’s at: being human. Admitting weakness. Admitting fear. Admitting mistakes. The best way to impress someone is to cut through the mock-perfect front and admit to being fallible. This is not to say be totally pathetic but to be big enough to cut through the pretence. It’s easy to think that you’re a fuck up when all those around you are carefully hiding their own errors. We’re all in the same boat and it’s always refreshing to hear someone admit something instead of being full of self-important shit. Perfect is bullshit. Imperfect is truth. We’re all hopelessly flawed. If we all confess our weaknesses we might be able to give each other some genuine help. But pride and pretence will always cover the outward cracks leaving the problems in tact on the inside.
