"Try not to be too hard on yourself," a well-intentioned friend of mine advised shortly ago.
Hmmmm . . . .
Try not to be too hard on myself . . . .
Try not to be too hard on myself . . . .
How very interesting.
I mean, could it be that all of this time I have simply been too hard on myself??! Nothing more, nothing less. Just plain too hard on myself??!
Because if that is the case, and all I have to do is take a few deep breaths, relax, and maybe crack open a beer, flip on the game, have some fun, and not be too hard on myself, then WTF have I been doing all of this time????
HOLY F'ING CRAP!!!!!
Try not to be too hard on myself??!!
Are you kidding me???
Try not to be too hard on myself??!!
Seriously??!! Really??!!
And just how the **** am I being too hard on myself to begin with??!!
Oh yeah, that not relaxing and not worrying part I seem to fail so miserably at doing. I guess you could also add in that feeling wrong part, the feeling desperate part, the part that hurts all the time, and all the other parts that are shitty, too. I suppose that's how I am being too hard on myself.
Silly me . . . .
I should know better than to be too hard on myself. God I suck!!!
