"My Biggest Weakness"
...No one wants to talk about this. Let alone put it out there for all of the internet world to see. No one is perfect, this is obvious. But I found this to be a very interesting topic once I sat down and really thought about it.
I never want to let anyone down.
I want to be super mom, I want to be the reliable friend, the perfect wife...I know I just said "no one is perfect". But I can't help it. I want to be that person. But I cannot do it. It's impossible. It's a weakness to want to please everyone. I have learned the hard way (and am still learning) that this is something I have to change.
I am scared.
Fear is my worst enemy. I know that fear is also a natural part of our lives but sometimes I feel like my fears have taken more control than I'd care to admit. I fear for my children's lives in the kind of world that I am raising them in...especially knowing that I cannot shield them from everything that is bad. I fear that I might not be good enough mom or a good enough wife...and a number of other things that I dare not to mention.
Fear cripples you...and you (I) cannot let it.
Anger is not the best medicine.
I cannot tell you how many times I have gotten myself in trouble because of my short fuse...or how many times it has saved me from getting screwed. But, it's always the first one that has happened once too many times. I am not an easy person, I know. I know that my fuse needs to lengthen itself...patience and love is the key. Anger is weakness. Anger does not help you grow.

What would you say is your biggest weakness?
