I have weaknesses.
We all do of course.
One of my weaknesses is...people.
I have a hard time not judging people.
I have a hard time being patient with them.
I have a hard time understanding the difference between gossip and chatting.
I justify things I say because "its good to vent" or "its not gossiping if its how I feel."
So I'm trying to shift my gears.
And so far it's been pretty hard.
But I'm hopeful.
I'm hopeful because something inside me is stopping the judgment mid-process in my mind.
I'm hopeful because my ears perk when they hear negative comments and instead of accepting them try to ignore them and shift the conversation.
It's painful to have your weaknesses handed to you by someone you love.
It's painful to face your weaknesses.
It's painful to have them tossed out in the open-
even when you were the one that tossed them out there.
