Dear Shirley’s Brain:
Telling Shirley: “You have to be perfect in everyone’s eyes” is pressuring her to fail because it is impossible to be perfect in everyone’s eyes. I don’t think there is a single person who thinks that I am perfect. If someone thinks so, he or she is delusional. Shirley too, cannot possibly be perfect. Brain, please, wake up from your delusion and listen to Shirley’s heart who is making more sense than you!

Dear Shirley’s Heart:
Please use your gentle, loving nature to point to the brain its faulty thinking. I am a bit impatient with its delusional thinking: perfection? Huh! no such thing!
