Pride. A difficult emotion and concept to keep in check and balance. Too much makes one a conceited and apathetic person, but too little will leave one with little self confidence and feeling of self-worth. I have been battling this balance lately. I want so many things in my life; creatively, personally, and publicly, and at times I find myself doing more for what others expect of me, rather than what is best for ME.
This week has taught me something. Those that care and want to be involved in your life will make an effort, and those who don't, won't. Simple as that. It is indeed time for spring cleaning, and I am starting by cleaning up the way I let others treat me. I am looking out for myself, my interests, and my feelings. I will help others, I will be a good Christian, and I will love those around me. But I will no longer allow myself to become injured by negligent and impersonal "friends." This is not who I want to be. I want to be strong and proud.
I want to find balance. I will balance.
Live and love,
Reagan
