Is it half-full or half-empty?
The optimist would say it's half-full. He'd say he was grateful for the water that he did have. He'd say every drop was a blessing and that some people didn't have any water at all.
Not me.
It's something that I've always struggled with. I'm a perfectionist. I'm competitive. I strive to be the very best at everything I do.
That's not always a good thing.
I'm cynical. I hate every commercial. I don't understand why Justin Bieber or any of the Kardashians are famous. I think "planking" is hugely not-amusing or funny. I think your flat-bill ERA hat with the sticker still on it looks stupid.
Sometimes my skepticism gets a laugh or a new reader. Sometimes it annoys people and gets in the way of relationships.
I'm just being me.
I try to tone it down. I wish I were more "sunshine-and-rainbows." I have a critical spirit. I'm working on it.
Sorry if I hurt your feelings in 2012.
Do you have a negative personality trait that you'd like to tame in 2012?
