I have to be kinder to myself instead of expecting others to be kinder to me....

So, Dr. was doing her official duties as usual when she realised that she was very tired. She started scrolling through YouTube. To see the influencer's perfect life always gave her hope that if she tried harder her life would be more perfect like them. All influencers seemed so happy about their lives, and did so much in a day. They all seemed to achieve so much, while just attending her yoga classes and making meals for all family members after coming from her job was the very least the doctor was able to manage. Her husband always complained to her that this is not done correctly, this should be done that way etc etc. Her children loved their imperfect mommy because they related to her so much, they were not afraid of failure because of her because to them their mother was an imperfect wife but so relatable and yet she never gave up. One evening Dr. was sitting on her bedroom chair and sipping her coffee when she just had a thought that life should not feel so hard, it should not feel like you are always in a racing mode, life should feel that it is aesthetic and it does not matter whether it was actually aesthetic. It should not be so hard, she realised that apart from people who were always burdening her with the expectations to meet , she was one of the culprits too. She too expected herself to win everything in life. She was always trying to portray things the way people thought was right and pleasing instead of whatever she was able to do with ease. Oh dammit I have been so wrong for so long was her thought....
