too big

After (barely) sleeping on the events of last night, I have come to the conclusion that I am not only a stronger person than I thought, but maybe in the situation I was too big about it. It was a situation that may have called for me to stoop a little. I may not have felt as good about myself as a person, but sometimes a little vindication is necessary. And I certainly could use a word of thanks from certain people whose dignity got spared along with my own. I won't get it, and maybe that's why I wish I'd stooped.
