Sometimes I am going to vent and say inappropriate things in anger, and that's okay.
Sometimes I am going to talk to someone and they can't look me in the face and respond because it is difficult for them, and that's okay.
There are going to be days when I shut down and don't want to see another human being, and that's okay.
I am going to worry about the people in my life when they are doing things that are harmful to themselves or others, and that's okay.
I refuse to listen to bad things said about me from a third party. I will ignore them until someone wants to say something directly to me, and that's okay.
Sometimes I am not going to get it right away that the reason everyone is annoying me so much is because I'm not taking care of myself, and it has little to do with anyone else, and that's okay.
There are going to be times when I forget to be honest about my limits or feelings. I can bring things up at a later date if I'm not in a mindset to deal with things right as they come up, and that's okay.
Not everyone is going to be able to take my bluntness, and some people may even hate me for it, and that's okay.
There will always be times when I am not talking about someone or something, but someone is in a bad space so they personalize and think I'm talking about them, and that's okay.
There will be times when someone isn't talking about me, but I'm in a bad space and I personalize it, and that's okay.
Sometimes I will skip a week of working out because I can't bring myself to get out of bed in the morning, and that's okay.
There will be days I completely lose my patience with someone and have to apologize, and that's okay.
Sometimes I want to wax the lip of a lady coworker every time I see her, and that shit is okay.
I am doing the best that I can for now, and I really need to realize that that's okay. I am human, and I am going to make mistakes, and I am going to be an ass at times, and that's okay.
Happy picture of the day: Alfred Hitchcock givin' up the goat. I wholeheartedly approve.
And all the time you've got a whole blogging community ready to take a bat to the knees of whomever is ticking you off...and that's perfectly normal.
ReplyDeleteI think you should rewrite this and illustrate it like one of those Todd Parr books.

Yep, it's all okay! And you are more than okay...you are fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteI am too hard on myself, too. It's ridiculous, actually, because if I don't expect anyone else to be perfect, why do I expect it of myself? Cause I'm definitely not, and that only leads to trouble.
That is funny because sometimes when I'm blue I'll write to blogger gals before my "in real life" friends.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap how had I never seen those? I think he is my soulmate. haha
@Kianwi,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much doll!
I am WAY harder on expectations of myself, than of others. I am so quick to forgive other people for things I totally beat myself up over. I'm working on it.
