VINDICATED

It's genuinely a great feeling to find out that someone took your advice after 2 years and did the same thing as you. You know, like go in the same field by going to the same college and take the same course with the same teacher.

I remember telling someone I started having feelings for about how I got out of retail. Problem is that she chickened out because I had feelings and asked her out. Too bad, so sad.

But knowing that she did do it 2 years later? Fuck yeah. No, I'm not happy for her. I'm happy I'm right.

Vindicated! I am selfish, I am wrong right! I am right! I swear I'm right! Swear I knew it all along and I you are flawed!

Now That We Don't Talk

The thing about not wanting to talk to someone yourself is that you have the option of changing that. The onus is on you if you decided to stop not talking to someone. You can take forever not talking to someone and basically leaving them metaphorically dead to you and you alone.

You put up a wall strong enough and it keeps that person out. Eventually they'll take the hint when you want to take that wall down. Then the onus is on them if they want to actually talk to you again. Not that there's anything wrong with that, really. People are allowed to pick and choose who they let in through their walls.

Ah well, it was worth a shot. shrug

Swear to Me

"Swear to me. Swear to me that everything you told me about going back to school to get out of this job you hate is true. And you were really trying to better yourself. Swear to me."

"I swear." 

"...Okay."
