Part of finding myself and experiencing new things is being able to adapt. For me this usually is an easy task, not even a task normally. This trip is different, it's an exploration of my beliefs and why I believe the things I do. I'm even finding there are things I was wrong about.
I set my personal bar so high, which has proved great for me in any task or goal I've ever had. I wouldn't be where I am today without continually working towards the next bar. Yet, without realizing it I put a similar bar on everyone else for everything. In some cases that bar is great. It allows people to try to reach for something higher than they think they can achieve. I like to think it was that which helped my Junior ROTC platoon to be amazing. But when not in some team setting, is it always appropriate? No.
I'm not saying the way of others is the right way but it is their way, which is what makes them unique.
I know I've bickered with people over small things and to each and everyone of you I want to say both that I am sorry and thank you for trying to show me a different way when I closed my ears and my mind.
With much love,
Jenn
