How many times do I do things that, in hind-sight, I would never do if I thought anyone could see. If I have to hide what I’m doing, then why am I even bothering to do it? And, yet, it becomes so easy to justify why I’m doing it in my own mind. Then, all of a sudden, I find the things that I’ve tried to keep hidden starting to pop up in public…which usually leads to embarrassing or hurtful situations.

Thanks for admitting that you need to do some soul-searching…it makes it a whole lot easier for me to admit the same thing, even if it’s only to myself.
