Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head

You know that feeling you get when you all of a sudden realize something about yourself that totally turns you off. At once you're aware of a trait that you exhibit that makes you want to burn everything you've ever touch because it's been in contact with your awfulness?

I had a realization yesterday... I talk about myself a lot. I hate that! If I had to play back the conversations that I've had with the people over the past week I might cut my tongue out my head. That's right..OUT-MY-HEAD. (cause i'm ghetto like dat)

ew. I know that I feed off of peoples affirmation. I know that I feed off of peoples praise and encouragement. But if I'm doing what I need to be doing, people won't need help to find reasons to tell me I'm doing a good job. They don't need me constantly saying, "I did this" or "I did that".

I'm making it a point to not talk so much in general. I wanna improve my listening skills all around. I wanna be good at just being ears for people to talk to. I don't need to always have a story to go along with each conversation. Not a extremely optimistic way to start off the weekend, but I get to see some of my best friends this weekend so its all good!
