I am a very prideful person. Actually, let's say horribly prideful. And today, my self-esteem took a hit.
I don't want to go into specifics, but there is one thing I believe I am good at. Maybe the only thing I'm really good at. And today, probably for the first time, I was humbled. Someone out there rocked my boat.
Now, I believe that there are 2 actions I can take regarding this experience today.
1. I can continue to be prideful and have a bitter attitude... OR
2. I can learn from this experience and use it as a stepping stone to a better and healthier me.
To be honest, I really want to do #1. That's my first reaction. But I think that if I strive to do #2, that this can make me a better person over all. One day, in the future, a similar experience may occur and I'll have the ability to overcome it without even a second thought.
So, I think that I'm going to take "the road less traveled" and see where it leads me.

Ok so I am curious, I have to know what happened
I, too, am curious, but that's cool if you don't want to go into specifics. You are awesome, and I am totally impressed with your decision to strive for #2! Also, you are super talented, and no matter what happened, you are still super talented (singing, sewing, mommy-ing, etc.)!!!
haha I'm with them^!
but yeah no matter what it is, you'll be so much better off if you go for #2. :)
