My biggest insecurity is not meeting up to people's expectations. So when I was recently informed that I did not, in fact, live up to a particular person's expectations of me, I didn't take it so well. (Luna the lemon beagle is staring at me with knowing eyes. She's the sole soul who knows just how calmly I took it.)
I was talking it over with my friend Andrea, and this is what she said: "We're all three people--the person we are, the person we want to be, and the person we pretend to be."
I'll just let that sink in.........
Obviously, I need to come to terms with the fact that I'm human, and while it's super flattering that said person had such an ideal expectation of me, it wasn't realistic. I can be okay with that. I think.
Something interesting I saw on Twitter today:
GODISNOWHERE!
A pessimist sees, "God is nowhere."
An optimist sees, "God is now here."
Which did you see?
P.S. Got my rose tattoo, finally. Still limping. But it's pretty.
