Yay I’m so happy I feel like I’ve really completed this goal. I have been super lenient with myself and just trying not to stress out as much. This makes me happy. =]
How to be patient with myself...
How I did it: I think this might only work for me because I know most people around me wouldn't tolerate a lot of what I do. I try to believe there's a reason, or a sign, for the way things fold out. If something doesn't go according to plan at least something different happened and I learned from it. It's all about being positive and celebrating my successes.

I’m getting very very good at this I’ve noticed.. Since I started taking my meds I’m not that hard on myself at all, just diligent and quick to learn.
I feel patient within myself now but maybe that’s because I haven’t pushed any serious boundaries or REALLY challenged myself to present an opportunity to be totally frustrated.
Either way, I wouldn’t feel comfortable ticking this goal off yet.
Untied shoelaces. Her rose ribbons weave in and out.
It’s all thrown into blueberry fields. Sink into
her palms, crown.
Butterflies kneel on her shoulders, planting poppies
in unbraided hair. Could have been easier on you, She whispers wordless thoughts into your mouth.
White dress made blue. Dandelion seeds float
on your fingers, her air. Why can’t we all breathe so perfect–
tie the knot tighter, pull close,
out loud.
Life’s not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.
I need to let my expectations for myself be enough and make an attempt to dissociate my self-worth from the worth I believe others have conditionally placed on me.
As impossible as it is for anyone to stop defining themself by who they are to others, I must make a conscious effort to identify when I am putting too much stock in others opinions, or in what I believe their opinions to be.
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble makers. The round pegs in square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
