I Am Angry & Arrogant

It has always felt natural for me to point fingers.

I excelled at it.

It made me feel better about myself — my lifeline.

I admit I am angry.

I admit I have a problem with arrogance.

I’m learning, though, our choices every day define us.

I’m not nice to myself.

I am getting markedly better at admitting my errors.

I am a continual work in progress.

I am proud of me.

Apparently, and reportedly, pride and arrogance are related but not the same.

We needn’t pretend anymore, everyone — there’s no need.

Arrogance is rewarded in the society we have helped shape.

I will hold on to moral virtue and moderation.

I will wisely spend the time that is given to me.

I believe there is much good left in this world.
