Poise

Second blog post today, making up for the lack of blog posts from before I guess.

Today I was told I have "poise" by a friend of mine. Not a close friend. A girl I used to quite dislike, but now consider her to be between acquaintance and friend, I guess. Not the point.

But what is poise? She said, "you act like you know how to handle yourself." Hmm. I do? I have poise?

Definition of poise from dictionary.com: a dignified, self-confident manner or bearing; composure; self-possession. 

I have that? Who knew? I don't think I have that. I wish I did, it sounds nice. But why did Darrah say I had poise? Poise. Hmm. I've typed it so many times it hardly sounds like a word.

I'm too shy to have a "self-confident manner," aren't I? Isn't that one of the things I'm supposed to be working on, confidence?

Or do I have more of it than I thought? Can you be confident and not know it?

Wow, this blog post made me miss my... friend.

Or, a person who used to be a friend at least. *tear*

Sometimes I think people don't realize just HOW confident they are until they lose that confidence.
