6. This one goes out for the Rachel Berry's of the world. She's crazy, obsessive, and a perfectionist. She's my favorite character for many reasons, but it's her obsessive behavior that makes me love her the most. Aren't we all a little crazy in our own ways? The point is, Rachel pushes herself so hard because she is her biggest critic. Meanwhile, all of her friends tell her to calm down and relax, but that only makes her work harder. What is the lesson to be learned from Miss. Berry's crazy behavior? Relax a little. Not everyone is judging you like you think they are. And when you mess up, chances are that you notice it more than anyone else around you. Nobody is perfect, not even Rachel Berry.
Natalie, I love this blogpost simple because you could not have said it any better! I love Rachel, and yes, I do think she pushes it to the max and is a little bit over the top. But, you are also right that she is her worst critic, and that our own worst critic is ourselves. I think we all need to cool down a bit, step aside, and look at our lives and say to ourselves that everything will be okay :)
