learning to accept that you are not a perfect human being

[Bert Notorius]

some fuck ups are easy to forgive yourself of

some you just can't

I feel v. guilty for having failed to pick up in time my dog's illness.
I feel ashamed re a couple of things where I was seen to have been wrong or failed.

I hate it that the shame hurts a lot more, which isn't cool.

((just venting))

It's like this...If God can forgive me am I so, arrogant ...bloated with ego, me a plain simple man, who am I to think I know better than God?

Sometimes humility is not so simple...

Aella, I'm so very sorry about your dog. It's not your fault. Dogs hide their suffering so well very often. We lost 5 dogs in 2015. Three were due to age but two were younger and totally unexpected.

Many thanks for your kind words. But what a terrible year for you …

Mine was not as raw as yours, because it happened almost a year ago (I had two, now I have one).
But I'm reminded of it whenever I see BertNotorious's posts (his av. + he posted once about his dog who had to be put down - it was heartbreaking).

They're such noble and loyal creatures, aren't they? They fill people's lives with joy but they die so soon and it's heartbreaking…

My dogs are my life. I wouldn't trade them for anything. When the rest go, more and more of me will break away but to have their love and friendship is worth it.

Your baby is very cute, by the way. I love the paw up.

I've read that the only perfection is in death -- I ain't there yet, so I'm still imperfect.

I've done many shitty things yet I find myself in a very good place, resultant from all the bad crap in my life. Go figure.

Our pets are always tragic because (except for my cousin's desert tortoise) they never last as long as we do. They're our ephemeral friends. As kids, they teach us mortality.

People fuck up, its what they do, its how they abandon their unicorn ideals and embrace life as it really is. Some, of course, never get beyond their larval stage. I know plenty of 40 year olds living with Ma, jobless, stealing her paycheck to buy drugs and pay the probation fees.

Adults are all stewards, its what being adult is all about. Taking care of things.

some live with their ma and carry in her groceries.


some seemingly fatal fuck ups are
repairable.
