You watch as they lock their phone quickly as soon as you walk in the room and you tell yourself it is because they want to give you all of their attention.

You watch as they move around the room at the party talking to everyone else, laughing and dancing as you sit at the table, when at home they can't be pulled away from their gaming console and you tell yourself that sometimes they just need their own space.

You watch as they go out to the movies with their friends and you tell yourself that their social circle is different than yours and they are allowed to spend time with their own friends.

You watch as they go through your phone, your messages, your emails and when you ask them why they tell you that it builds trust and you believe them, or you tell yourself to believe them because what else can you do.

It's been rightly said, you never really realise the kind of place you're in, the kind of person you're with untill you need to explain it to someone else, until you find yourself constantly making excuses on their behalf, until you realise that most of the time you're just blocking stuff out so that you can feel happy about your choices. And maybe, that's a big red flag.

You're imperfect. You suck at telling people how you feel. You've habits that you can't let go. You drink too much of coffee and you don't like to be told that your art is bad.

On most days, your phone calls have uncomfortable silences and you don't open up. And then, there are days you don't disconnect the call until it's 3 am.

You put yourself first, sometimes. You bail out of plans when you don't feel like going. You cancel dates at the last minute. You walk out of the room when you have an argument with your parents. You aren't easy to love.

You have your flaws. You trust too often. You love too hard. You find it hard to let go. It's not easy with you. Little things hurt you. You tell the wrong people your secrets. These are your little imperfections.

But it's okay. Sometimes, you don't have to apologize for being yourself, for being someone who is not good with people.

Just don't be too hard on yourself. You're not perfect. You are imperfect and so is everyone else. All humans are imperfect.
