we were talking about trusting ourselves...
knowing we can handle things okay.
she brought up what a knuckle head she used
to be.
oh that was easy.
i casually told her that's not who she is
now. look how far you've come, i said!
and she has. she's awesome. and doesn't
really know it because what she sees is
past knuckle head stuff. she's afraid that's
who she still is.
well, okay.
so i turn that on me.
oh no.
i actually hang my head when i remember
what a knuckle head i've been.
i'm astounded and totally embarrassed.
thing is.....if i can see that now, that
alone tells me i'm not there anymore.
but why can't she or i really believe that
we're past that stuff??
and ya know, i like to believe ten years
from now i'll look back to now and hang my
head at what a knuckle head i am now.
i want to keep growin' and gettin' beyond
where i'm at.
thing is......
what good is it if all i can see is where
i used to be???
seems like if i'm gonna do all this work,
i gotta open my eyes.
but openin' my eyes means seein' and believin'
in myself.
way easier for me to tell my friend to do.
sometimes i'm such a knuckle head.
