swallow?

"Swallowing your pride is not gonna kill you. I don't think keeping them would kill you either."

For the past years and up until now, my pride has been into consideration when it comes to my decision making. I had to weigh things and know when it's about time to swallow my pride and when it's time to keep them.

I was told that swallowing my pride is not gonna kill me. I know it's true. Nevertheless, I also believe that it's not gonna hurt a bit if I'd keep it. Not that I have to have it with me always. It's just that I'm a person of my principles. I'm never gonna bow down to someone who doesn't deserve any respect from me. In the same manner that I'd kiss someone's ass if it's worth it. Ayt?!!
