I tend to make my life more complicated than it has to be. Some of it comes from how I was raised. When I was growing up, it wasn't popular to be vulnerable or to admit your mistakes openly. I was taught to keep striving to be better, do better, and help my community more. A continuous improvement mindset has been good, but that mindset has also been a double edged sword. I am complete and good enough exactly as I am, but that took time to understand. Now, I'm better (not perfect!) about balancing high goals and being more comfortable with where I am and who I am at this moment.
