When will I be able to have confidence in something other than my pessimism? When will I be able to take comments for what they are worth? Or at least - the good comments. If someone says something negative - I don't think twice about it... but the moment a compliment is issued, I shy away. Why is that? And why is it that everyone seems to feel less about themselves than other do about them. And why is it that I can get upset with people for not being able to take a compliment when I am probably the worst one for that?

I haven't written much as of late... my thoughts have been scarce and scattered and I don't know how much would actually have made it on here if I had tried. Some things are better left alone - and frankly, one of those things this past week was ME!   ¶ 8:37 PM
