Humility Pie

Unpopular opinion #8,547: I don’t love pie.

No matter what kind, I’ll take a slice of cake over pie any and every day.

I don’t hate a pie, it’s just not my preference. And if it’s a humble pie in the metaphorical sense, I’m just as un-enamored of it, even as I find myself eating them more and more the older I get.

Personal unpopular opinion #5,711: I’m not perfect.

That’s a bitter little pill to swallow, and I’ve had a persistent and lifelong prescription for it because I make as many mistakes as anybody else. The most difficult lesson for me to learn has been in acknowledging those mistakes, and then learning from them. The learning past has been easier than the acknowledging, but both have come a long way these past few years.

Life teaches you when you are ready to receive the lesson, and it will keep trying until you get it.
