Long story short, even with the best intentions I find myself doing things that are not good. Not good for myself and harming those whom I love. I have tried to fix these imperfections but have begun to believe that it's just who I am.
And it's hard, I don't want to be a bad person I want to be good, that's what everything in life seems to be geared towards. I'm not nihilistic or pessimistic, not suicidal. I'm just not good.
Anybody have some readings on this feeling? Or movie/music rec? Media? Words? Stories? Anything would be appreciated, thanks.

Sickness Unto Death, Part II "Despair I'd Sin"

This section deals with being transparent before God in prayer, and a part of being transparent before God is being transparent to yourself about yourself. Not having any self-deceptions of virtue or greatness, but going to God as you are. I hope you read it and find the truth in it.
