Okay, so if you haven't figured it out from the last several weeks' worth of lame-ass posts, I'm not exactly having the best month in the history of my life. Neither is anyone else around me, and unfortunately, that's because of a situation I helped create.
But at some point it'll all be over and I'll be older and wiser and I'll look back on these days and shake my head at my own idiocy, just like I've looked back on every other year. The thing that makes these days different than those other times?
Amazing people.
You know who you are. And most of you read this blog, so just know this: I love you.
I don't care whether you're jet-setting around the country and ignoring my pages. It's good to ignore me once in a while. Makes me figure out how to take care of my own crap.
Nor do I care if you're going through your own shit. Makes me remember that the world doesn't revolve around my drama.
Or if you're 5 or 500 miles away and wishing I wasn't doing what I'm doing. Or if you're somebody that wasn't really my friend until a week or so ago. Or if you've known me since I was wetting my pants. Or if you're somebody who takes me out on the town and tells me you're gonna pimp me out. Or if you just sit there and listen to me with a face that says you're clearly glad you're not me.
I don't really give a shit. What counts is that I know you're there, going on about your daily lives, giving me five minutes -- or hours -- of your time, and every time we get up to leave and go back to our own grindstones, you smile and give me a hug, turn your back on me, and walk out that door with utter confidence that things are gonna be just fine.
They are gonna be just fine. And I'm glad I have you to tell me so.
*muffled grins*
i think i know which one i am. and i love you too.
