All the Feels, and That's Okay
/
You are allowed to be sad.
… And mad.
… And grateful.
… And you can be all of those things at the same time.
I realize that’s a weird thing to say, but hear me out.

You're Not Perfect (Neither am I)
/
News flash, you’re not perfect.
“Ouch. Really, Erin?”
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. That might mean that your make your husband and your kids your priority, but Tammy from the office will have to pick up the monthly birthday cake herself (or get someone else to do it).
You’re not perfect, and you can’t do everything. This is something I’ve been telling myself on repeat over the last few weeks.

Or maybe you’ve noticed all the Turkey themed projects and toilet paper roll pilgrims on your Facebook news feed (or maybe that’s just me?).

Halloween candy. Ugh.
Truth is, I don’t even like it. Maybe it’s because I have re-trained my taste buds to enjoy better quality food or maybe it’s because I know what’s in the candy and how it impacts my body (headaches & breakouts anyone?).
But there it sat, staring at me.
I knew it wasn't worth it. Sure, I love peanut butter and chocolate together. So Reese’s are a temptation. But truth is, the dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s and Justin‘s peanut butter cups are better than Reese’s.
I said what I said.
