I don't have to be perfect, so what?

Things about myself that I wish were okay:

I love wearing T-shirts, sweatshirts and sneakers, and I don't have the most feminine taste in music.
I swear quite casually and frankly I don't see any wrong in it.
I hate being mainstream, and even more so when I'm being pressured to be.
I feel uncomfortable being dependent, not because I'm stubborn, but because I think knowing I can do things on my own is core to my personal growth.
I'm uninterested in the economy and politics, but I'll be happy to read about less educational fun facts like the invention of colours.
I resist more when being pushed - don't try me.
I get defensive when I feel exposed, and I take awhile to admit it when I'm in the wrong.
I'm easily satisfied, and also easily dissatisfied, and this can change in a split second.
I don't like to give in if you expect me to, but I will if you don't.
I don't think before I talk, and I am therefore more straightforward than I should be.
I have a great deal of patience, but I also have one hell of a temper if you push it, and I make sure I show it.
I need to hear "sorry" or "thank you", or I'll hold a grudge.
I'm a sucker for my gold stars and need my efforts acknowledged all the time.

This is me. Is that okay?
