Self-esteem is a delicate aspect of life, especially when in a transitional phase. One day can be amazing and the next, a nightmare. Sometimes, not unlike tonight, only a simple, small, unintentional occurrence can deal quite a blow to confidence and the like. I don't understand how a human, such as myself, is conditioned to convince himself that something so simple should have the privilege of dropping him down a peg or two. My worth has absolutely nothing to do with the thoughts or actions of others. So when a friend doesn't feel well and decides to relax and recuperate, resulting in the falling through of plans, why should i get upset? Rather, i should be empathetic, since there have been times where i have felt likewise, and understand the situation. However, i decided to let me convince myself that it was an incident worth making me feel a tiny bit less confident. Wrong. Self-esteem rollers, as i call them are incidences that are poisonous and created in the psyche. Self-esteem rollers should not exist and if we weren't cultured to place values on things and having everything go a certain way, then life would be so much easier. So, instead of sulking about it, i will find something else to do and know that no ill was meant and that a huge factor of life is grace, which is not only meant to be received, but given as well. It's a lesson in humility, not how to take one's self down. No more self-esteem rollers.
