Dear Self, Be Kind to Me

And other laments

Sometimes I realize that I am my own biggest critic.

How did that happen?

I wonder when I became my worst enemy,

when I turned against myself.

I think it happened subtly,

stretched over a long period of time.

Maybe I'll wake up from my nap later and be in a more forgiving mood.

Eh,

I'll try again tomorrow.
