Day 2

"What is the stupidest thing you did this year? What about in your whole life?"


  I am my own worst enemy.  Sometimes I restrict myself so much by not realizing that I am completely capable of standing on my own two feet- just as I have for nearly eight years.  By far, my stupidity this year has lied in the fact that I did not believe in myself as much as I should.  As many times as I have proven the strength that I have, and succeeded and accomplished so much, I still doubt myself and cower under pressure.  I succumb to feeling like I need others to support me and give me motivation.  I was lucky to be given natural talents and the ability to acquire new ones, like anyone, and wasting them on self-doubt is useless.  
  There are a few events popping in and out of my head during my lifetime that were certainly very stupid.  Some of them are from my childhood when I could claim I didn't know any better.  Others were quick things I said without thinking.  Some were ways I acted or treated people of a period of time that looking back on, was pretty idiotic.  To name just one seems pointless, because undoubtedly I have learned a great deal from my stupidity.  I've calmed down my quick tongue, I've learned to treat everyone nicer (because you never know the battles others face), and think before I act.
