I get grumpy sometimes. People make me angry, and sometimes I just have to bite my tongue and remind myself not to be a Richard. In the end I’m much better for it, and so is the world.

I have gotten stuck in this trap in my life. I want everything to be perfect, but when everything has to be perfect you end up stressed, nothing looks right, and you end up living in a pressure cooker and not meeting your goals anyway.
Sometimes you have to just realize that good enough is good enough and move on.
I tend to be quiet. I don’t like being the center of attention and it takes a lot for me to reach out for help, but it is such an important skill to foster.
If you have friends who seem to deal with anything and everything without getting upset, make sure they are actually okay. Sometimes those are the people who are about to shatter from everything on their shoulders.
When I was younger I had a lot of social anxiety and sometimes I went with the flow because it was easier. But sometimes you have to stop and be yourself, no matter how hard that is.
