{"quotes":[{"text":"I'm starting to understand that attempting to be perfect has been the goal of my life. Our lives. Attempting to be this fault-free, smiling person in this loving, happy family that fits so perfectly in this pretty, inoffensive little town. What was so bad about that goal after all? Only that I couldn't do it. That I let everybody down. I've been so down about it, so depressed thinking about all the balls I was trying to juggle that I've dropped, and now the cogs are turning toward total apathy toward it all, everything and all I can think about is that I am a shell of a human being. I'm a pushover. I'm to blame.","author":"Abigail Tarttelin","tags":["apathy","blame","emptiness","facades","guilt","perfection-is-unattainable","responsibility"],"id":71836,"author_id":"Abigail+Tarttelin"},{"text":"A perfect work of art is not the one that has no mistakes.
