Sometimes, you can do anything and it’s perfect.

Other times, you can’t do anything right. You’re tuned a few hertz too low and you’re a little bit off tempo. You don’t fit, you don’t think, and you don’t have a future.

And in those second times, though they happen to everybody, it can be really hard to forgive yourself.

You make a mistake. Mistakes happen. You fix them.

And then there are mistakes that reveal deep-seated personality flaws. Those are much more difficult to fix.
