I think we are humans love to analyze our flaws,
and especially love to point out those flaws of our peers to help fluff our own feathers.
It’s just a human trait to poke fun and yet at the same time practice the same flaw.
I am far from perfect and I will be the first person to admit it. I preach a lot of things and sometimes reneg on them. I love sugar and I love junk food but I talk a good talk about healthy organic eating. Now to some people and myself that one bad time I eat junk food or sugar is what I will be remembered for. Not the 95% of the time I eat wholseome vegetables, brown rice/oats, rich proteins but when I go to my moms and feel like I can eat junk food while I am there because I am on a break from my apartment. I say I cloth diaper but when we go out I use disposables, I feel like a phony. Unless I do something 100% I have a hard time putting my seal of approval on it.
It’s okay to have some flaws, it’s okay to not eat healthy every single day, to not beat yourself up over one wrong thing you did but to just let it go(unless it is one really big thing).
Letting go is in itself an art form. I am not exactly very good at this but over the years I have become good at letting some things go while holding on to other things such as people or a few items from my childhood. People are tough because those who chose to push me away for whatever reason lame or not feel like they are saying “I am not good enough” or “You were not cool enough” or “You were just annoying” Whatever the reason it’s just a slap in the face and resentment rears it’s ugly head and I keep bothering myself with what if’s. I’m slowly changing this and with more self confidence I have been better about letting people go from my life who are no longer positive influences.
Thats not to say some days I won’t slip up and talk to those people out of habit or loneliness. Being a single person I do not have the luxury of talking to my partner.
I am focusing my energies on being happy since like attracts like. And I will attract the right person.

Like definitely attracts like – so good luck!
