Do we ever have it all together? What does that even mean? The last quote I wrote for my door is another one of my favorites, this time from Marilyn Grey, and talks about the very notion of having it all together.
“No one ever has it all together. That’s like trying to eat once and for all.” Marilyn Grey
I think it is really important to remember that no one has it all together, all the time. It is especially important to remember this in our era of constant sharing on social media, where everything is curated and it seems like everyone is leading a way more glamorous life than mine. Images are just that, an image of a moment, and not the full story of a life.
So while I try to keep organized and make sure I’m not letting anything slide, I have to remember to not beat myself up if I feel like I don’t have it all together. No one else does either and that is a comforting thought. We’re all just trying to do the best we can, with what we have, here and now. So each day I do my best, but if it takes a few extra days for the floors to get mopped, or the stack of books to be sorted, it’s okay. I’m okay and life, in all its messy glory, will keep on going.
I hope you are having a lovely week. I’m working on lots of revisions and writing now and have my *fingers crossed* still that one of my stories will get published this year and I’ll be able to share that good news here. 🙂
