passive aggressive.

i've learned over the years that i'm a lot of bark and no bite.  i can only recall one occasion where i just ripped into someone.  it wasn't relieving or refreshing.  in fact, i recall the experience being down right miserable.  even when i bark, i am unable to bark at the person i want to hear it.

when there is conflict, i prefer to avoid it.  i want to keep the peace and  make sure everyone is happy.  i don't let people walk all over me but i try very hard to correct with kindness.  where has this gotten me though?  what has being passive aggressive done to help me grow? nothing.

this year is about me.  personal growth.  who am i?  what am i called to do with my life?  what keeps me happy and healthy?  who loves me, supports me, and cares about me through thick and thin?

this is not a passive aggressive year.
