that life is perfect..
i have very ordinary struggles, i am very imperfect, and some days i just want to sit on the couch with my kids, turn on the grinch, and stay there all day.
i made this post to confess my struggles, and maybe you relate. theres power in community, in relatability, in true and honest friendships.
(i also saw James Smith‬ make a similar post and i really really liked it. Shout out brother, love what you do)
We see these videos, well thought through, honest and authentic, and we can quickly envy the lives of others on the internet. Dont do that, because we all suck in our own ways.
Love you all! remember you cant SUCceed without SUCking first
Work hard, have fun, embrace your imperfections. They make you YOU.
