my name is hope, and i'm a perfectionist...
i am such an overachiever. i admit it. i thought i was over my perfectionist ways, but going back to school has enabled me to see that i haven't quite gotten it out of my system.
i study too much. i burn myself out. it's sad.
i guess i could have worse addictions. it's unfortunate that my perfectionism doesn't extend to household chores. i haven't really cleaned my house in months. it used to bother me. not so much anymore. one day, i'll hire someone to do that for me. yep, that's the plan.
thank GOD for spring break next week! i have already given myself a good "come to JESUS talk" regarding no schoolwork for at least a couple of days. yes, i do plan to study some during that time, but i will make myself take a much-needed break. AND I WILL NOT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT EITHER!!!
i guess my point is that even good things and good-for-us things need to be done in moderation.
i am taking my own advice. i promise...well, i'll start next week.
it's ok to be responsible. but let's remember this: live a little. laugh a lot.
don't feel guilty when you take time to enjoy life!
take care!
