The Best of Me & The Worst of Me

At my best, I am patient.
At my best, I am kind.
At my best, I am thoughtful.
At my best, I am slow to speak.
At my best, I am quick to listen.
At my best, I am giving.

At my worst, I am the exact opposite.

I like to think of myself as the best version of myself...

but when the worst comes out...

there it is.

Over the past few days I have come to grips with this.

There is Good Jared, who is the best version of me & there is Bad Jared, who is the worst version of me.  I am both, I am all of it, and I am everything in between.

In a way, it is freeing to finally come to this realization.
