So I've gotten a couple of sweet and demure words of encouragement lately about my writing, and to my dismay I've used it as an excuse to take my ego for a walk. "Yes," I'll say, "writing this blog has given me a new level of insight into blabbety blah blah blah." Or "Yes, what I really wanted to unlock when writing this piece was wishety wash wash wash."
Ugh.
To those people who said something nice, only to hear me prattle on about myself, I apologize. I'm not an asshole, exactly, I just have a needy little puppy of an ego that has been misused and neglected for years and is starving for a little attention. Perhaps that is the the definition of an asshole, but regardless, your nice words of encouragement are no less nice. Thanks!
