I almost broke my own glass house

Heller. So I was having a discussion with a friend about being stabbed in the back and I began to realize I was placing judgments and putting on airs myself.
Let me backtrack... I was the VICTIM :o) of gossip and some major, however stupid and unfounded, hating. Some people decided that I should be the topic of discussion and started running their mouths about me and my choices. Now these people aren't friends exactly, but they weren't enemies either. Lets call them trusted acquaintances, only trusted because they gave me any reason not to trust them.
One I would even say was more than an acquaintance, but I digress.

Anyways, there was a lot of flapping mouth about me and none of the parties included me in the discussion. I think that was what bothered me the most. I really feel like you should at least include the discussion.  I mean at least given a chance to set the story straight.

Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I feel that you should be honest and upfront when discussing others because maybe you got it wrong and where else to get the correct information. Anyways, no one included me and I had to find out on my own. So I was a little irritated and began expressing this to a couple of my friends.

What happened though was that I had to ultimately check myself.

Here I was all mad cause these people were talking about me and I had to think; am I guilty of the same crime?
The answer is an absolute yes!

I have talked about others behind their backs. I felt like I had a right to do so because I was only confiding in my close friends and they would never tell anyone. But the thing is, I am no better than the ones I was so upset with. I'm on a mission to be a better me. Better physically, spiritually, a better wife, sister, daughter and a friend and that means I have to look in the mirror and make sure I am really who I say I am. I have many flaws and I'm getting them together.

So let me apologize to everyone, I'm working on it, working on me. I almost broke my own glass house.
