I made a mistake at my apartment complex. One that got me in trouble with the leasing office. I normally follow the rules. But yesterday I was tired and made an error in judgment. Today I received a nasty letter warning of violations and fines. It shook me up.

Now I am beating myself up. My inner critic is having a field day with me. Mainly the letter is a warning. I feel bad that I made that mistake. I won't do that again, even if it is a detriment to me. People don't care about what's really going on. They're just quick to judge. It makes me angry. I have been here 6 years and this is the first write up I get. Plus I did something that lots of other people do. I hope they wrote up everyone.

If I could just get my inner critic to quiet down, I would feel a lot better. Thanks for listening!
