Here’s something I know: I shouldn’t believe in me, at least not in the way those commercials say I should. I’ve been me long enough to know that I am not someone to be believed in. I mess up. I hurt people’s feelings. I care too much about some things and not enough about others. I get lost. I am not perfect. And I don’t want to pour my hope or trust into someone as faulty as me. So while I’m grateful for what the TV ads are saying, I don’t think it is totally true.
