Daunted.
I admit that I am not built with sterner stuff as I would like. I am emotional and a lot of times I would give in. However, that is quickly followed by the realization that I have allowed myself the moment of weakness that I probably needed before I could function again. It's done, so now we move forward.
Some people don't need to go through phases like that. They take things head-on. They welcome challenges. They call "problems", "opportunities." I admire them. I respect them. Sometimes, I want to clobber them.
I am not as strong as I want to be and sometimes I act in ways that I don't want people to see. One of my vanities. I try to hide it. Most of the time I'm successful but sometimes, I slip.
I'm an odd one, I think. I know what sort of advice I would give a person in my situation. I tried telling it to myself. But I didn't listen. It would be the height of conceit to keep trying to handle things on my own and so I am grateful that there are people who believe in me.
But I still wish I was that person: someone people can turn to.
A person can't have anything he wants. Things can't be "just so." Problems are unavoidable and we do our best to rise above. We don't come out unscathed. We can only hope to come out better.
