I'm not sure if I agree with the quote or not, but I do think it's pretty obvious that I have guilt issues. ;o)Lady of Perpetual Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01434516025772250275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701450073139687901.post-54103912350107220752010-04-14T08:14:13.550-06:002010-04-14T08:14:13.550-06:00I agree with Jason.

I think maybe she means that we can choose whether or not we let it get us so down that we let ourselves be inferior versions of what we really are. <br /><br />I know I do it all the time. I start thinking that someone is so much better and I shouldn't even try.
