Kristin left this comment on my post on What To Do When You Disappoint Someone: Honestly, it’s myself that I am always disappointed with; I wish I were friendlier, skinnier, and less grey. I go to bed every night feeling like I’ve failed my children and my husband and my Lord, random strangers on the internet, and probably my in-laws, too. But I’m just not perfect. Not even half the time. I’ve been trying to ease up on that internal critic lately and I think I’ve been sleeping better. -Kristin Kristin, can I just tell you that you are so not alone in this? I spent years of my life disappointed with myself... that I wasn't pretty enough, smart enough, funny enough, eloquent enough, confident enough, and on and on it went. No matter what I did or didn't do, I'd be frustrated with myself that it wasn't enough.
