30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 8

[asphaltcowgrrl]

Day 8: Share something you struggle with.

How do I go about this without sounding maudlin or, worse, self-pitying? I'm also definitely not looking for attention but... this question is the kind of thing that people Vague-book about. Hahaha.

You know what? I think I'll just post it and move on, no explanation. Because if I try to talk this one out in 'public' (I was in a bar, you threw me into public!), it'll get messy. Er, messier than my other posts? Even the ones that don't vaguely reference Ron White bits?

*shrugs*

What do I struggle with? My self-worth. There. It's out. But yanno, I think I'm an alright guy. I am also a work in progress and you have to have bad days in order to find a way to have good ones, too.

Just to put it out there quickly. I think that the people who don't struggle with their self worth, are people who are not worth as much as they think.

So there.

You make a very valid point there. *hugs*

I think everyone struggles with their self-worth. Some folks are just better at hiding that struggle is all.

I'm like you. I have good days and bad days, but I'm still around to fight the good fight, if that make sense.

I totally agree. And being forced to hide it and act like you've got all the confidence in the world can be exhausting!

Yes, definitely. Acknowledging that not every day will be a good day is important because it is what helps continue that fight. :D

It's one of those things we all (or most of us) struggle with at some point or other, whether it's daily or just occasionally. Just know that you are worth a lot to your friends, of which I count myself one!

Thank you, that means a lot to me. <3
