Feeling (In)human

Mantra of today: I am human, therefore I err. To not make mistakes is to be inhuman.

All this time, I thought I needed to be perfect.

Then the truth hits me - Nobody is perfect!

No wonder I have felt so disjointed from the rest of the world. I have been trying so hard to become something I can never be - only adding to my sense of failure.

Today, however, I am sitting in the sun, and I realize (like a light bulb on the top of my head just blew!) - I have to accept that to be human means I make mistakes.

My character is not defined by "never" making mistakes; rather, it is determined by how I resolve the mistakes that have been made. Yet, before I can resolve them, I must accept them.
