Sorry, Chris. This isn’t going to be a happy post.<\/p>\n

Dear readers,<\/p>\n

If there is anything I’d ask from you… ANYTHING, it would be to please, STOP FEEDING MY EGO.<\/p>\n

Seriously. Some of you may say, “but you’re great at this, and that, and that other thing over there.”<\/p>\n

But face it. I’m not good at those. And even if you do think I’m good at it, please stop telling me.<\/p>\n

Also, if I absolutely SUCK at something, please tell me. That way, I can fix whatever I’m doing wrong and get better at it.<\/p>\n

This has been bugging me for the longest time.<\/p>\n

And I’m just here to say:<\/p>\n

I’m not as good as you think I am. Now leave me alone.<\/p>\n

Another ranting post soon to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
