Take it easy, maybe

We often fall unknowingly, victim to our own expectations. We put so much on our shoulders and we ask too much of ourselves. In the end, after all that was said that needed to be done, we still fall short and we end up being the disappointment that we always knew we’d be.

It’s something I’m still slowly learning to overcome. It’s no secret that nobody’s perfect, they’ve made songs about it and it’s the staple of every “Faith restored in humanity” post on Facebook.

It’s always easier to forgive others for the same mistakes you’ve made; the mistakes you’ve beat yourself up about. It doesn’t matter what they’ve done wrong, it always comes right back to you and you ask yourself if there was something that you never did or anything you could’ve done better.
