as i strive to be a better person in the world, i am also learning to accept, be kinder and not to be so critical of myself when i make mistakes.. or i do things that may not be so happy with myself.

one thing i do, is that i am extremely hard on my mom and i truly am not happy that i am.because i want to love and accept her just the way that she is. i'm hard on her though because i want the best for her and sometimes i don't feel as though she takes the best actions for herself. so i am hard on her -- and then it eats me alive.
