Humbling experiences happen everyday! Two days ago I stood tall, chest puffed out proud like a new father. Today I stand like my feet have never been so interesting, like the way I sit on the subway trying not to make eye contact, trying to be invisible so that I won't be approached, confronted or questioned. I want to hide right now, because I feel so mistaken. When I read a situation I rarely think beyond the positive implications of my actions, for instance my logic lets me be a superhero and save lives with my presence alone, an irresistible girl who can smile and make the ladies swoon, and if I only work hard enough I will make all my dream come true. I must believe in the Hollywood myth, I must not have listened to my parents when they said "hope for the best, but expect the worst" or maybe I misunderstood it and thought they said "expect the best and hope for the worst". I seem to have little discretion and a lot of ego. That will soon change! My New York experience has been very humbling, and I refuse not to take notice from this point on!
