o/~ And a song I was writing is left undone.
I don't know why I spend my time
writing songs I can't believe
with words that tear and strain to rhyme. o/~
Paul Simon, "Kathy's Song"


today's lesson. Never be a perfectionist. It hurts too much when you fail, and there's no way to succeed.

Just do the best you can. No-one has the right to ask more from you.

What's that quotation again?

"Lord, grand me the strength to change the things I can,
the serenity to accept those things I can't,
and the wisdom to see which is which"

Or something.
Anyways, take care.

"Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." ... or, at least, to hide the bodies really well.

Hang in there, katling. *hugs.*

You know, I read that as "The sounds of computers humming at the mEth lab..." which is really ratehr dangerous. ;)

And as for being a perfectioniost..well, it's worth it to strive for perfection, for though you might not reach it, you might as well do as well as you can...
