Trying to be perfect must be soooo exhausting.


I know for a fact how absolutely exhausting it is to have to wear a mask all the freaking time, having to do that within a relationship, would definitely wear you out and cause you to end things with the bf.


I don't wear so many masks anymore, if I'm feeling crap, I'm feeling crap, if I'm struggling and need help, I am, sue me for not being appropriate for public viewing 24/7.


Since I've worked on being more authentic, I'm much less prone to exhaustion.


I must say though, I would never even have thought to attempt that within a relationship, they're hard enough work as it is. My bf should rightfully (and does) accept me as I am. It's part of what makes a relationship work, acceptance.


This will remain a pattern in your life until you feel more comfortable with being in your own skin, until you allow someone in, until you give someone permission to see you for who you are, as you are, warts and all.


Nobody is perfect, so trust me when I say that nobody is expecting you to be.
