I've spent the weekend catching up on reading about someone else's mistakes, which, incidentally, were being made at the same time I was busy making my own--methinks I could have gained some perspective, had I discovered this wealth of wisdom some time ago. But oh well. I guess each person has to make his/her own mistakes. No amount of someone else's experiences, no matter how "relatable-to" can really help. But this binge reading, among other things, has me somewhat depressed.
And on a wholly unrelated note. . . I'm wondering if I have an inflated view of myself, i.e. think that I am better, and deserve better, than I am actually am/do. And, hand in hand with that, if I am entirely too judgemental, and too shallowly judgemental at that, when it comes to other people's failings. Both are quite possible, I'm afraid. And, I have also discovered, to quote a line from Grey's Anatomy: "There is a land called passive-aggressiva, and I am their queen."
Sigh. I wonder what other unpleasant realizations await me this week.

But of course you deserve the very best! So don't worry about having too high standards or expectations.
As for reading about the mistakes of others - always useful, but sometimes, like you said, you have to go out there and commit some errors, so you can learn.
Sounds like growing pains, which I can relate to... Just when I think I'm done with them, I go through them again in new ways. Anyhow, in the meantime, you are a great person, with special gifts to share.
A verse for you, now, because it came to my mind...
"But you, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head." (Psalm 2:3)
