Yesterday, I relinquished my pride.
Yeah, it was in shreds already, but it was the just about the only thing I had left. And yesterday I gave it up.
I woke up this morning and while I was brushing my teeth, I realised that I felt great. Better than I had in weeks.
And then I had a tiny epiphany. You know how Joplin said, 'Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose' ? Well, I finally got what she meant.
She makes it sound like a bad thing. It isn't. Freedom always comes at price. And when you think about it, pride isn't all that much to pay for it. In fact, I recommend giving it up. What do you need it for anyway?
So go on.. Kick off your shackles. Go buy your freedom.

If you mean what I think you mean, then no thanks. I've had too much freedom in life. Could do with some..um.. bondage? :)
