To some people, pride is the most important thing they could ever have, which explains why they would do everything for it not to be tainted. They would do everything, even the things that they would not normally do. They would do it just to protect themselves. Just to show to the people that they are strong enough to carry on with what’s happening in their lives. Pride can either make or break us, depending on the situation. It could make us appear strong and unaffected with whatever dilemma we are into, even if we are actually as affected as anybody in the same situation is.
The downside of having too much pride is that we are somehow setting a huge boundary between what we really want, and what we want society to think we want. Obviously, a person with too much pride would go with what society wants them to be like. The person will end up feeling empty, feeling as if there is something missing deep inside them. This is because they didn’t go after what they really want, taking into consideration all the things that the people might think of them if they would go after what their heart desires. The thing is, we should never let others affect our decisions. We have our own minds, and we are given such so that we could use them. We should listen to our hearts’ desires, and not be afraid to take risks. For it is only in taking risks that we get to achieve what we really want.
Lowering their pride would mean a lot to some people, and to them it could be a sign of weakness and that’s what they would never want the people to see in them. The truth is, lowering your pride, taking the risk, and going after what you really love is a sign of bravery, since doing these things would mean that you would do everything to get what your heart truly desires, even if it would mean having to sacrifice a lot for going after what you really want.

This is so relevant

I hate how we keep on talking about how she moved on and how it’s not even true and shit why do we even talk about it anyway? Okay okay it’s all about your pride, you’re hurt and I have to understand. I have to. Like, all the time. I fire up a li’l bit deep inside whenever I hear her name, actually. Just a little. But we have to talk about you and shit. I mean, why do we have to talk about you? It’s not like we could do anything about it ‘cause it’s part of the past now, right? Why. Hahahaha. K. Bye.
