Alright. My guess is that I'll use the pronoun "you" (or anything like it) to represent at least six people today.
Generally I don't like to get really retrospective. And by really I mean I don't like to go too far back. Like I told you. But just now, as I was thinking about what to say, I realized that even though each individual event/action/movement in my life has led to this point, and even though if I had changed one word that my life could be completely different -- even with all of the philosophy behind that, I still think that there are specific events that, had I made the other decision, my life would be in a completely different spot. Had I picked one house over the other, one set of stairs over the other, one project over the other, one time to be honest over the other. That keeps going, but I'm done.
So I've decided not to speak vindictively, or get defensive. And I'm not turning this into a debate. You win, you lose. End of story.
So that was from a few days ago.
Right now I'm in more of a panic/stress mood. But "Hello" and I was back. "How are you?" and I was okay. Sort of. One more time, please? But in person, please. And I also still feel terrible, so if you could fix that too...
I bet you could.
P.S. The questions were because questions are our thing.
I also want to bet that I could do that easy play at the heart-strings thing for the remainder of this post. Why? Because I think I'm there again. So let's see which metaphorical direction I take this in. And by the way, that's the direction of the metaphor, not a metaphoric direction...
You're not like the moon (this time). On the contrary, you're not drawn into orbit by something bigger and more dominating than yourself. You are your own. I know you are. So stop listening.
That was terrible. I can do better than that.
I'm like a sweater. Just put me on when you need me.
...What the fuck does that mean?
