Self-affirmation

I'm good with myself. It's taken a long way, and it's not to say that there aren't things that I would change or that I don't hope to improve over the long haul, but I'm good.

Do I wish that every else could see that? Or appreciate that? Or let it go without feeling compelled to make criticisms that I seethe over, trying to figure out how to correct that assessment with a more accurate depiction of the character I've worked so hard to build?

Ah, sure. But really, I'm good. And that's all I have control over anyway.

(Can you tell that I'm still working on this whole affirmation thing? But I did mention that I'm open to improvement.)
