More Topanga than Cory

I wasn't sure what to write about this week, because frankly it has been a long and hard week and I am just sort of tired. But I think it is important to look back on weeks like that and figure out why it was so hard for you.
This week I once again faced, I am Topanga.
It is only the first week of school, but there is a lot riding on the next few weeks for and it feels like a ever growing weight pressing on my chest. 
There are some who could take this challenge in stride and keep going, but I find the pressure overwhelming. I want to make every part of the challenge perfect, but it is impossible. I have to let go a little somewhere. And coming to terms with that is the biggest challenge. 
Boy Meets World is one of my favorite shows of all time, especially Topanga. I see myself in her in so many ways. She was always reaching for perfection and was crushed when she couldn't reach far enough. 
Over the next few weeks, I have to push myself to perfection as much as I can and I fear the failure that can come with that sort of goal. But I am also not the sort of person, like Topanga, that can be any different. Topanga always wanted to be her best, and so do I. 

So I will remember that as I face this challenge. 
And if I really need to, I will draw a lipstick heart on my face.

Word of the week: courage
