Not to be overly dramatic but most days I have a hard time liking myself. The personality trait I possess of being my own harshest critic is one that I both admire and despise. It drives me to be a better husband, father, friend, artist, employee... to be a better person. But it also makes it hard to see when I am actually improving or doing something good because it can always always be better. I often cuss at myself or tell myself that I suck. I punish myself in many ways. Sometimes it works to achieve something I am trying to do. Sometimes it just depresses me.
This demand for perfection is also something I at times place on others but not nearly to the same degree or in the same manner. I feel I am very accepting and encouraging of others. I definitely appreciate others for who they are. It does not have to be done my way. I am open and would never place that pressure on anyone...especially those who I love. Why is it so hard to do this with myself?
Anyway, I think this shot is okay except the fact that I copied a hundred others that have done something similar with their reflection in a mirror.
