My life is going good yet I still worry and stress everyday over my plight. I feel it all relates to my high expectations. Any feedback?

hello Patrick P. Welcome to this site!
I too want to be perfect. IMO the people that the media portrays makes us feel inferior. Like with me I see commercails with the pretty put together moms in their $40,000 mini vans and 3 clean kids. They have jobs a perfect house. They're kinda like Martha Stewart mixed with a supermodel. Then I look around at my house it is usually disorganized my laundry piles up, I cook great but not fancy, I prefer my old pick up over a mini van the thought of PTA makes me nauseaous. And my 2 boys are rambunctios little outdoorsman that love nothing more than to play on the clay hill behind our house. I don't work and my pick up costed $750. My clothes ain't all pretty and my idea of fun is fishing. I learned to love how I am. Yeah sometimes I wanna be one of those moms but I'm not. I guess I just accepted that. I actually think I'm kinda cool
I hope you can find that one day. I guess it just happenes as you age and become more of what you feel comfortable being and less of what others want you to be.
