take pride in what you do . who else will ?

i was brought up to believe that bragging and boasting is wrong . ur not supposed to brag about what you have and what you are going to get , mainly because there are so many other people who are not fortunate enough to be in your same position . i understand .... i guess .
this is my thing though . is it wrong to celebrate yourself for your achievements ? or am i supposed to sit back and wait for other people to do so ? because as of right now , i feel pretty damn good about myself . in 4 days i have gotten over 160 downloads on my song . sure , thats nothing to you but .. that just means that there are over 160 people that will know MY lyrics . lyrics that I wrote . they will sing along to MY shit . you know ? and i feel like thats an accomplishment ; especially knowing how much music means to me. and i know that when i get famous i won't stop to think about this kind of stuff. songwriters take this stuff for granted . im sure wayne and kanye dont stop to appreciate how many people know their songs . instead of how many songs people know, the "important" issue becomes how much money you make . but anyway, this has always been a dream of mines .. to write songs that people like enough to sing to . i just feel like this is the beginning . the start of something big . and i'm proud of myself !
so if being proud of myself is wrong , so be it . im not putting anyone down . im not saying im better than anybody . im simply saying i deserve this joy that i feel . and if you feel that i don't, that's fine , too . mommy warned me about cats like you . (:
