Snowvember!

Aren't I clever? Snowvember.. pff and you all thought you were clever with Movember! (and to those that have heard "snowvember" before because I'm sure someone somewhere has, lets just pretend it was my own original idea for once, alright?)

Ok seriously though, how exciting is it that there's snow in the actual Vancouver area? And how good does everyone feel that bought their snow tires and all their gear in advance? I mean come on Vancouverites, we had fair warning this year.

That being said- that all has nothing to do with what I want to write about today.
You see, something that has become very apparent in my life lately is being human. And you know, I really don't even know what that means. From the different dictionary meanings I perused it all has a very negative undertone. Something along the lines of being weak and giving in- essentially being less than perfect.

I suppose those things ring true. And God knows I would have thrown in the towel a long time ago if I had to be perfect- the second I'm under that kind of pressure I crack (figure skating competitions come to mind..)

I guess I wanted to bring this up because it's really just something for everyone to think about. I know I need constant reminders of what it is to be human (or at least that I don't have to be perfect because it's impossible!!!). Sometimes I feel like no one can touch my stupidity, or I just can't do something as exactly perfect as someone has asked, or I'm sure the most common: that I'm not pretty enough. On good days, I know these things are preposterous and that I always try my hardest to succeed or at least to please, and that I'm a pretty girl (even without make-up!). But sometimes, no matter what you do, there's really actually nothing you can do and I know sometimes it's hard to keep that in perspective.

So to all my fellow human readers: You're allowed to mess up. You're allowed to be less than perfect- whatever it is that perfect means. You're allowed to not care some days and by gosh you're allowed to eat a whole tub of ice cream! Just take care of yourself (mind, body, and soul). It's going to be ok. No, seriously, it is.

Thank you for your lovely eyes and support! Much love!

P.S. Did I mention everyone should be listening to Ray Lamontagne's music? It's glorious. Nothing human about it. ;)
