A Higher Standard
Normally I say that I'm the type of person who lives without regret, but last night I did something petty and immoral that has been eating away at me since. In my younger years I probably would not have thought twice about it, but I guess as I'm developing what seems to be . . . a conscience. *gasp*
I'm going to try and make whatever amends I can to rectify the situation, but what's done is done. Hopefully I won't slip again and fall back into this type of behavior ever again.
On another note, I received my first stripe on my blue belt yesterday and rather than feeling elated, I felt like total shit about it. I don't feel like my skills warrant any type of promotion just yet, so the stripe felt a little empty. There are so many people at the gym caught up with the whole idea of rank. What I've realized ever since getting my blue belt is that the color of your belt or how many stripes you have is irrelevant. The truth is on the mats.
