When I started this challenge I had this idea in my mind that I'd be reporting back everyday that my giving was a success & life is grand. Well, in real life everyday isn't filled with unicorns & rainbows. Day #14 was one of those slap in the face kind of days. Excuse me in advance for keeping it vague, but I don't want to piss anyone off.
There's a certain person in my life who I feel I can never please. No matter how above & beyond I try to go, I don't fit a certain mold that this person has in mind. Truth is, I never will. It wasn't until recently that I decided to let that fact go, and just be myself regardless. So day #14 I had a lot to be thankful toward this person for & decided I'd step out from behind the wall I usually shield myself from this person with. I sent a very sincere text ( I know..pick up a damn phone & talk..it's like a foreign language these days)...expressing my overwhelming gratitude for things this person has done for me. In my mind I pictured receiving a reply that was equally as kind. Instead, I got nothing. I felt a knot in my stomach almost as if I felt regret for reaching out & putting my guard down. But no, I decided I did what I felt in my heart & accepted the fact that some people, just like some days, are just that way; not full of unicorns & rainbows.
