Save Your Story: Flaws

Today’s prompt comes from a quote by the author Augesten Burroghs book: Magical Thinking: True Stories. I read this quote for the first time about six months ago and it has been on my mind ever since. It really made me think and I thought it would be a good way to start the Save Your Story series. I believe that this is a very true statement. I know I make a lot of mistakes, no body is perfect. I just hope that by recognizing my flaws I might be able to be better about those things. I decided to write to my husband with this prompt and tell him I am trying to better in the areas that I find lacking. I put the Journaling into a layout with a photo of me.

Journaling reads: I know I am not perfect. In fact I know I am far from it. I could be better about the house work, ie laundry, dishes, and cleaning? I want to want to do them, it is just hard sometimes.  Playing around on the computer is just so much more fun. I know over-react to a lot of things like losing my keys, hairbrush, and phone, but I am trying to be better. I have gotten a lot better about actually saying words when something is wrong and I need you to stop, I used to just blubber, mumble, and make noise. I am really sorry for the glasses of water all over the house, especially our room. I don’t have any excuse for that one and the dishes around the house too. I know I bug you to do things a lot; I just need help when I am stressed. This is when I tend to freak out and over-react, when I am stressed. I will try my best not to be stressed, but I can’t control my external stressors. Please understand. I am trying. But No Body’s Perfect.
