It’s normal to make mistakes or misunderstand things. Now you know that you can ask clarifying questions or seek confirmation if expectations/instructions are unclear to you. I think if you place your self worth in your academic performance it may or may not be helpful to examine why that is, but nobody is perfect. Mistakes are how we grow!

It might sound silly, but this morning I accidentally went to the wrong class. I’ve been really trying to work on my time blindness, so being late felt super frustrating. I started beating myself up in my head, but then I decided to say out loud: “It’s okay, you’re trying your best,” “Everyone makes mistakes,” and “Showing up and making the effort matters more than being perfect.” Surprisingly, that actually helped a lot. By the time I got to the right class, I felt way calmer than I usually do in these situations and my professor was understanding and kind, which made a big difference. If anything, this was just a reminder to be gentle with yourself today :)

Sometimes you mess up. Sometimes you do something awkward. Sometimes you hurt someone with your actions. And sometimes you are faced with the consequences from these things. All you can do is take it on the chin tbh. That WAS my bad. And I’ve learned from it too
SHAKE IT OFF!! YOU ARE FALLIBLE

trying to do this recently because i have a crippling fear of saying something incorrect and being embarrassed afterwards. but also im a human and its okay to be wrong and if i can be okay with others being wrong sometimes, others can be okay with me being wrong sometimes. i can make mistakes in remembering facts and it doesnt have to be a big deal. maybe this problem doesnt exist for anyone else and ive simply overcomplicated life for myself by worrying about this but maybe if anyone else struggles this could help you come to the realizations i have that its fine to say something wrong sometimes and you dont have to hesitate saying something out of the fear of being wrong. were here to learn and make mistakes. nobody can be perfect

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
