keeping it "all together"

Whoever said that I was "so well organized" and "put together" was wrong. You are sadly mistaken if you believe that I have it all together. I am far from it, I loose things, I forget important dates, I fail tests. You guessed it, I am human too. Multiple times this semester sisters and friends have told me how they wish they had it all together like I do or how they really need to just stay motivated like me. I kindly respond with "Thank you for that but I'm really not all that wonderful and organized." I know that often times it is easier to compare yourself to others than it is to praise your accomplishments. Next time you see someone who seems organized, put together, like they have it all, remember that they have struggles too. They often do not wake up every morning jumping out of bed ready for the day and excited for all the challenges that are inevitable. Just as all of us, we have good days and then some bad.
