Is it just me, or does it seem that nothing you do will ever satisfy anyone. Every time I do excatly  what someone tells me to do, some how I do it wrong. This sounds negative I know. Believe me I am writing this to try to fix the problem. A way to bounce this thought off of other people. If I am the only one who feels this way then maybe I am wrong. Being wrong does not bother me. I just need to write things down to figure them out.

I get it no one is perfect! Everyone knows that so why do we all seem to expect others to be perfect. In school we are expected to get the right answer, have perfect attendence and be polite. no one can do this. I have always had the goal of perfect attendence and have never once had it because  life gets in the way. 

A few months ago I spent days in the hospital, because I am not perfect. Ever since then everyone seems to expect perfection from me. Why? Does anyone else feel the same way? like people forget that you are still healing if not physically then mentally.

Perfection is something only our Father in Heaven can achieve! He is the only it seems who does not expect it from me. The only one who knows that I am struggling, that I put a I'm ok face on and pretend to be happy, even when I am NOT!

This helped me think, I encourage you to write/ type your life questions, then work through and answer them! It may seem negative at first but in the end it will help you be more positive of the answer.

 I wrote this in about 10 min. I really do try to be more positive when I write and post on here but as  I said No One Is Perfect!
