I am Spongebob.

I've been watching a lot of Spongebob lately... yeah. I also have lately been feeling pretty negative about a lot of things. I was(am) tired, unsure of where I stand in my peer group, and rather stressed about everything that needs to be done in the coming weeks. I was kinda depressed.
So, I was watching Spongebob and came across my new favorite episode. It features Spongebob being an oblivious pushover just happy to make people happy and Plankton trying to teach him to be more "assertive." I thought "My gosh. I'm Spongebob."
Crazy, I know. I won't go into details, but I found a completely unexpected identification with the sea sponge.
I too have been wanting to be more assertive. So, I found myself paying much more attention to this particular episode. I watched Spongebob(myself) turn into a maniacal bully, without out him(me) even knowing it. Yep. Sounds like me. No sense of proportion. Where is the balance between assertiveness and meekness? CONUNDRUM!
