I don't have to be perfect

Life has been rough lately, I'm not gonna lie. I know that for other people life is harder. Life in Africa is much harder and I need to be grateful for my life now. I am. I haven't written in a while and that's gonna change. I'm overcoming some health issues and disappointments.

I thought about saving the "I am grateful" post for tomorrow, but I'd rather do it now and do something different tomorrow.
