From now on,I'm going to demand less of myself and less of others.
I want to make mistakes,without fear and regret.
What's done is done and,although in the past I made certain wrong decisions,
I did it because I genuinely thought they were the best choices to make at the time.
I want to be imperfect,not to demand so much from myself or from others,
and to recognize that we're all flawed.
I don't want to feel guilty and hold grudges toward others,
as I know this only causes me pain.
I want to own my decisions and not always be dependent on the approval of others.
Of course,I'll listen to them and their advice as long as it's made in good faith,
but I'll make sure I always have the last word.
I don't want to keep kidding myself.
Because,at the end of the day,deep down,I know what's really good for me.
For example,if someone tells me that bungee jumping is the best experience ever
and that I should try it and stop being a coward,that doesn't mean I'm going to do it.
I'll only do it if I want to.
I don't intend to compare myself with anyone.
Therefore,I'll make the decisions that I think are right and if I'm wrong,
I'll wipe the slate clean and start again.
Because that's the game of life.
Sometimes er're right and sometimes we're wrong.
I'll always try to do things without harming anyone,but if I'm wrong,
if I hurt someone's feelings,I'll ask for forgiveness and I'll also forgive myself.
We're all imperfect.
We all make mistakes because it's human to make mistakes.
For this reason,I'll lower the bar.
I don't want to put more pressure on myself.
I don't want to continue being the perfect child that everyone loved and praised.
Now,whoever wants me can accept me with both my virtues and my many flaws.
I'm going to remain calm with myself and stop weighing myself
down and tormenting myself with the mistakes I've made.
Finally,I've no longer any interest in being perfect.
I want to learn to be a little indulgent with myself.
I know it'll be hard because I've always demanded too much of myself
but I'm willing and eager,eager to try,and that's why today,I'm happy.
