Do you ever just feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t know what they’re doing in life? Because I will be the first to admit, I have absolutely no idea what I'M doing. I've lived 52 years on this planet, and still I do not have my shit together.
What does it mean to have one’s shit together? I’m not sure, but every day I feel like I do not have it together. I can’t find my keys, I’m consistently broke, I barely make it through the day without having a self loathing thought, I am an emotional & anxious individual, and I find it hard to show affection. I lose things, my house is a mess, and I’M a mess most of the time.
I do not have my shit together.
But…What if I told you that nobody really has their shit together?
Because it’s true.
For every flaw I just listed, there are things that I am good at. I’m a loyal friend, I’m a good mom, I’m a supportive romantic partner and I am a passionate about things I find interesting, and I use that for the good of the world.
I am emotionally in tune with people's emotions. I like to help people in whatever way that I can. I don’t give up ever, even if it feels like things are not working out. I know they will eventually work out in the way that they’re supposed to.
Still, I don’t have my shit together.
And you know what? I don’t think I ever fucking will. But it doesn’t matter. I actually think that having your shit together is just a myth.
If you think you don’t have your shit together, you’re right. But you’re still a wonderful person. I'll still sit next to you at the lunch table.
