plain old me

So I was thinking earlier about how often people let me down, (friends, family, ect.) and i remembered the saying You can only rely on yourself. It really sent me off on another whole thing, you can't really rely on yourself. Or at least i can't, I let myself down all the time, probably more than other people do. I hold myself to much higher standards and expectations it just seems that I set myself up for failure. I try every day to do one thing that could make me a better person, whether it be not to judge some one or stand up for myself or just face something that bothers me.  Then I thought how often do I let people down, by accident or otherwise. If I want to have my friends and family be better towards me, maybe I need to be better friends and family to them. Its time to start working more on me.
