Star archetype reporting for duty to say 😮‍💨 I love the way you write, Michelle — I laughed out loud several times, and I'm deep thinking about my own balance between perfectionism and failure tolerance (still leans toward the former, but I'm getting better!). This was great.

this one got me. especially bc I find myself identifying with both simultaneously in a real Harvey Dent kinda way.

some days (depending on caffeine intake or just how squiggly my brain is in the moment) my failure tolerance is wildly high and I’m happy to create and shoot it all out into the world bc woo hoo gotta try something! 🤪 other times it feels like I’ll never be through the iterations it takes to get something right or worthy and might just scrap it all together before the finish line (or almost even worse, finish it but then not actually promote it or sell it well bc it still feels not good enough)

sigh. this one got me.

I relate deeply... and I think it’s kind of genius to jump between the two. Best of both worlds, perhaps?! (If it’s not the worst 😅)
