Simply Me - The Other KLM

I embrace
cozy imperfections
and accept defects
that are simply me.

I have learned
to accept
the constant clutter
and occasional stutter
that are simply me.

I realize
perfection is a mirage
forever just several
steps away.

Yet.

I still strive
for self-improvement
with winks and chuckles
bumps and blunders
along the way.

I recognize
patterns that shape
my world
but forge paths
to new destinations.

After all
quirky imperfections
frame my story
a story
worth telling.

I’m simply
snug
being me.

What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

Published by TheOtherKLM

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to... I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess. Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter. So, that’s me. More or less.
