Worst Argument

The worst argument I've probably ever had was with my dad. My mom and dad separated when I was about 5 years old. It's hard for me to go back and forth between them and to constantly have them force me to pick a side. One day my dad came to my house unannounced and I had a hissy fit. I was screaming at everyone because I finally let my feelings out. My dad told me that day that he was thinking about moving to Michigan. I couldn't comprehend why he was even thinking about moving anywhere. I told him that he was selfish and was just running away from his responsibilities. We ended up forgiving each other after we talked more and understood each other's perspectives. This taught me that I shouldn't be keeping my feelings bottled up inside. I have to talk about them every once in a while, especially when I don't think something's right.

Fake It Until You Make It

What I'm very confident about us being myself around other people. I can be myself without caring about anyone else thinks and I'm very proud of myself for this. What I think I need a confidence boost in is probably my academics. I know that I can be better than how I am but, it scares me sometimes to find out if I'm afraid that if I'm wrong about myself being better than I'd totally give up on myself. So from now on, I'm going to fake it until I make it. I will constantly tell myself that I am better than what I think I am. I will tell myself that I can do better until I do.
