When It Rains It Pours...

In 10th grade, I read "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe in my English class. It was the story of a man named Okonkwo that fought throughout the whole book to protect his African community and values from the Europeans during colonization. The tragedy in this tale however, is that Okonkwo's downfall comes at the hands of his own foolish pride.

this book popped into my head today as I was walking to school and it made me immeadiately think about my current situation I am in. Is it possible that I am letting my pride get in the way of making the best decision for me? Cuz it def wouldn't be the 1st time. But in all honesty, I make it through and I'm always stronger due to my experience but honestly, certain things didn't have to be as hard as they were for me. Sometimes I feel like I know my pride is getting in my way...but at the same time, I never know how to stop it. It's like watching a train wreck or a plane crash.

On the flipside though(and here's where a whole lot of confusion comes into play) "If It Wasn't For You" by Day 26 comes on Tito's shuffle on the way home...and I had to put it on repeat. It just made me think of how blessed I am and how no matter the circumstance I've always made it through.

So the question remains...should I...or shouldn't I?
