Of course.
Thing is when we strive for perfection in everything we set ourselves up to fail every time, who do you know who is perfect? Why set yourself standards that no one on earth can live up too?
So my advice as 'wrong' as it may sound is go and f**k a few things up and learn your still standing after. Apologies for the cursing, I'm far from perfect
I know we are all far from perfect, and I know I will make mistakes.... but I think I'd go crazy if my T told me to purposefully do things wrong. Just reading it made me anxious.
Thank you for the suggestion.... maybe I can try at some point. :-/
