Did you ever stop to question what is 'normal' anyway? Who says?
Seems to me we spent too much of our time comparing ourselves to others in the hope of being 'normal' like everyone else...to fit in....well I'm not convinced anyone else's 'normal' would fit me!
I would encourge you to consider what you regard as normal for you...and please yourself! You can spend your whole lifetime trying to fit other people's idea's of what you 'should' be and never feel like you get it quite right. So why bother?! Aim to please you and you're far more likely to suceed!
Thought for the day....BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND....take care of yourself, be kind to yourself, forgive yourself and move onto tomorrow with a hopeful heart and a positive attitude.
There's not a one of those folks you're busy admiring that hasn't screwed up...they just hide it well!
We all live in fear of exposure so we hide our selves well behind others! We're afraid to stand out incase someone really sees us for who we actually are and judges us unacceptable.
Make friends with yourself...be kind when you listen to your story...as you would be for others who were brave enough to share their vulnerabilties with you. Love yourself a little bit more, as you would a young child who knew they had messed up and feared your rejection....you would take them into your arms and love away their anxiety, reassure them that everyone makes mistakes when they're learning new skills. Reassure yourself that it's ok to make mistakes, you ARE learning new skills! Learning to live through this life, day by day....it's all new territory! After all, how many of us can remember being here before? Didn't think so!
Do something nice for yourself today...treat yourself to something, enjoy it, savour it....and be thankfor for a fresh tomorrow.
