World of Impossible Expectations
An excerpt
I know firsthand all that you’re trying to do. After all, I was once your age. This is a time in your life when you’re learning, changing, growing—not only in your body but in your mind and heart and the way you look at the world.
You may be young, but you’re already juggling so many activities and responsibilities. Some days you probably feel like you’re running round and round on a hamster wheel—going as fast as you can, trying to do it all, but feeling like you’re getting nowhere. It’s an exhausting place to be. I understand. I know how difficult and fast and overwhelming life can be when you want it all and you want to do it all perfectly. I know those aches of your heart. I want to show you how to let go of this whole idea that you have to be perfect in order to be somebody.
