Deneb, you're very special to me and I know that somedays your work is a source of comfort and stability in your life. Other days it's a reminder that you're not the best. Unfortunately none of us are going to be the best, no matter how hard we try. I get overwhelmed with these feelings a lot, and I have to remind myself that I'm only human and I've made choices in my life that lead me down my present path. That my life is going to be okay many days and terrible sometimes too. Learning from the terrible days is pretty important. Accepting that you are only human and that you can't be perfect and brilliant and the prettiest and the most popular and the richest and the most beloved creature ever to walk the face of the earth- these ideas are important to carry around.I think you're a really nice person and a good friend. I don't want you to hurt. I like you just the way you are. I like how you're always trying. Sometimes it's important to sit down and list the things we're grateful for. You have parents and pdoc who care about you. Friends, and a steady job. You have a lot of folks on pbabble who are rooting for you, and I'm sure you've made penguin friends too.
don't turn into a skeleton, you'd be less cuddly, and you'd worry about your health too much.
