EDIT: FOR WHOMEVER GETS MY 9001 PAGEVIEW, SCREEN CAP IT, SEND IT TO ME, AND YOU WIN A PICTURE, HOPEFULLY NOT TOO SHITTY.

EDIT 2: I HAVE OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND VIEWS. WHO GOT IT BITCHES?

So I went and visited a couple old teachers from high school, at high school (WOOOAAAAAAAAAH). I ran into an old friend, we were never that close, but we were friends enough at the time for me to explain a certain situation that I was going through, and I knew enough about her problems that we could be mutually depressed with each other when we were around. When I left my ex, she got suckered in to taking sides, which was disappointing but I was never angry about it. Lately I was wondering if I had really done something wrong, not in breaking up with said person, but in the way that I had done it.

She apologized for believing a certain group of people, and for believing all the lies they had told about me. After explaining my situation, I was told what they were saying about me to her. I feel good about myself, honestly. I feel good that she was man (or woman???) enough to apologize and try to see things my way, rather than sitting and brooding on a situation that should have been dealt with in a more...professional manner.

What I think is humorous is the fact that certain parties are not speaking to me or are still not ballsy enough to get over me, even though its been close to two full years. I also find it humorous that they feel the need to lie about me to justify their point. Thirdly, I find it humorous that sides were even chosen, and that this friend and another of my close friends was even involved in this situation. They did nothing deserving of all the hate and deceit, and the genuinely good people came out on top, if you will. This is no game, this is no chance to strike out at certain parties to get revenge. This is life, real life, not some parody of it you find in books, television or movies. This is something you get one of, something you should grab onto and hold the reigns as reality bounces in and out of surrealism and the sublime. A rule of thumb to live by, never regret something that once made you happy, and if you're not happy change what needs to be changed. Life is too short to stay unhappy, and too quick to spend brooding and pouting because things didn't go exactly the way you would have liked it. So I'm happy. I think this is the last I'm going to talk about this, certain parties need to understand this. I'm through, and they should be too.

tl;dr, I'm happy for once in this life, and want to be for a while.
