Get ready, faithful readers. I'm about to tell you my two biggest weaknesses EVER.
#1 Nostalgia.
No joke. If you want to end all productivity from me just plop me down in front of an old facebook album or childhood pictures and I'm DONE FOR. I'll just slowly flip through the pictures and reminisce and reminisce, maybe text some people who are in them, and become a useless blob for the rest of the day. As I flip, my eyes will start to leak, my nose will start to run, and if you're lucky, you'll get a call from me crying about the way things used to be. Ask Dani or David. I'm the worst.
#2 Competitive Nature
I am, for real, the most competitive person I know. EVERYTHING is a competition. We're casually walking into the library? I touched the door handle first, I win. Donating blood? I was faster than the chair next to me. I win. Eating breakfast? I drank my coffee faster than you drank yours. I win. At work together? I can make a mcdouble SO much faster than you can. And it looks better. Boom. Winner winner chicken dinner. You might not even realize it's a competition. But it is. Everything is a competition.
It's starting to become a problem. If at first you don't succeed, pack your bags. I just REALLY like winning things and being good at things. I want to be the valedictorian of everything. When I do lose, I'm generally a good sport on the outside. But you better believe on the inside I am PISSED at myself, and vow to win the next thing. I hate losing more than almost anything else. More than feet.
So, if I've ever ditched you to look at pictures or made you angry over winning something that was not really a competition (it totally was), I apologize. I'm trying really hard to get better at not being so competitive. We'll see how it turns out.
