u know when u reach that day where you finally get tired of being so hard on yourself and you are just like, whatever.
last year i felt like everything was my fault.  i completely blamed myself for my lack of personal satisfaction with law school culture, i blamed myself for putting myself in an environment that caused me to be be insecure, i blamed myself for not being able to alter the interactions & make them positive or please those around me.
now I say WHATEVER!!!
Whatever whatever whatever.
I try my hardest.  I am good person.  I have tons of wonderful meaningful relationships in my life. I am happy with my home.  I am happy with my family.  I am happy with my work.
There is a degree of personal dissatisfaction I have with the way the factors add up in my life right now.  But whatever.  Its life.  It might not be perfect.  But I refuse to hate on myself for that.  And I refuse to let whatever parts of human behavior I observe that I don't admire bring me down and turn me into a person i don't like. 
Life has never been perfect on my three month stints around the world.  I never expected it to be.   I have developed a huge degree of personal strength in my life.  Those experiences build a part of me.  But more than that - they are the reality I seek for myself.  This (law school) is  just a temporary experience I have to withstand. Not the other way around.

God this sounds familiar. Maybe we should actually share a meal together one of these days... :)
