I don’t tell you this to be mean, I remind you of this fact to set you free. Since you aren’t perfect, you don’t have to be perfect. It’s okay for you to have a bad day, or a bad week. It’s not okay for you to treat other people poorly because of it.
It’s okay for you to not be everything to everyone, but it is important that you take care of yourself so that you can also take care of the others that you elect to allow into your priority circle.
