Love this! Let's be our imperfect authentic selves in our writings. I often have to remind myself, it's okay to make mistakes. As a sort-of, mostly healed perfectionist, in one of my last posts I saw one error and I didn't fix it. I was proud of myself that I didn't fix it! (I fixed another of course that was a little larger of an error, but the typo, eh, it's okay and proves I'm not a bot. lol.) In grade school, many of us had to write out our essays by hand and errors could not always be perfected. With typewriters, and early computers there were often errors and we used whiteout. Then with digital blogs, maybe we over-corrected and are attempting perfection. But is perfection needed? I don't think so.
I remember hearing about fof - fear of the future, fomo - fear of missing out and I'd add fofu - fear of fucking up. It's become so clear lately that I am my own suppressant, my own limiter and my own mind control. AND. that I'm learning to trust in my own wholeness and alignment instead of functioning out of fear motivated, largely unconscious impression management. Good thing we live as long as we do...or did.
Thank you for the mention! Hope you keep moving forward.

Much appreciation for all you do and are, my friend!
