Every now and then and I let myself think for long enough that I start wondering: is this enough? Am I a total fuck up? just a little bit? does it matter anyway? how could I be better? what if i...? and then my distractions blissfully take over and I forget all that for a few weeks. Ho hum

It doesn't matter.

All that matters is that you have peace and contentment i think.

That's how I try to live. I fail often, but I never give up.

As long as I do my best, that's all that matters. Even if it's shit compared to others efforts it doesn't matter because I know I gave it my best shot. That's how I sleep well at night anyway.

Fuck up compared to what? The middle-class aspirational consumerism-is-all lifestyle? Nah, that's not where it's at.

Us fuck ups gotta stick together, until the next wave of disassociation hits lol

Besides, you're not a fuck up, not anymore than anyone else. Your life has meaning and value, whatever way you live it 💜

I solved that problem by accepting I was a fuckup. Lots of us are not perfect. That’s life.

Ignorance is bliss.

And yes, agreed with Spud, you're not a fuck up
