Hmm. I'm proud of the fact that I have more than once, without hesitation, put my life on hold for my family or loved ones. I'm proud of the fact that without any warning or preparation, I was able to provide a loving, stable home for my nephew for over a year while my sister got her life straightened out. I'm proud of the fact that I have generally been able to achieve, learn, or master anything I set my mind to. I value my generosity and my genuine compassion and kindness. I value - as I mentioned a few days ago - that in spite of what life has thrown at me, I never became bitter, hard, or cynical, that I can still be that teacher that starts everyone with an A+ and leaves it up to you to keep it. I value that I can take the lessons I've learned in my own life and turn it into - usually - good advice to my friends.
On the other hand - I wish I was less guarded. I wish I didn't try and deal with everything on my own. I wish I could relax sometimes and not give myself impossible milestones so that I am always destined to disappoint myself. I wish I didn't always feel like I had to be in complete control of myself. I wish I could be more confrontational when times called for it.
