humble pie.

Do you ever feel you've become the worst version of yourself? That a Pandora's box of all the secret, hateful parts - your arrogance, your spite, your condescension - has sprung open? Someone upsets you and instead of smiling and moving on, you zing them? "Hello, it's Mr Nasty."          - *Joe Fox   You're Got Mail 

I feel like lately I haven't been showing my best self. I've taken my silly insecurities and perhaps skewed views on the world out on family and friends. My sweet mom lovingly reminded me during the holidays, that I might have come off "bratty" in a certain situation, and a dear friend called me out on something I said.

And boy, if your family and friends can't call you out on your crap, then I'm not sure who can.

I guess if I've learned anything from this, I hate that I've become cynical.

Cynicism is one of the worst feelings to have in my book. It brews up trouble, taints things, and fuels a bad attitude.


So, I'll eat my humble pie, beg forgiveness and leave a promise to do better. I'm adding be more genuine, be positive, and be kind, to my growing list of thing to work on.

*man.. isn't you've got mail full of quotable goodies?
