Instead of tiptoeing through life, you would rather live it. You would rather make mistakes and grow from them than stay in the corner and do nothing as the world goes by.
Since you're trying your hardest, you won't punish yourself for the little errors you've made. You see it yourself, even though others may not perceive it.
You are honest about who you are and where you've come from, so you don't hesitate to own up to your mistakes.
