Right in front of my face
posted April 29th, 2019 at 3:30 AM
Was doing some spring cleaning and came across some old papers of mine from over a decade ago. Among them was a nice card and several coloured illustrations that were made for me by an old coworker. Here's the kick: I sorta dated her friend briefly who also worked with us - who, in retrospect, was not a good fit. If only my stupid early-20's brain realized that girl 1 was dropping hints and girl 2 was never gonna last. Now I'm in my mid-30's and I have more knowledge but less time. Such is life.

We aren't the best judge of ourselves are we? Nor of the people around us?
Reading your confession reminded me of the horror/nostalgia I had looking through my high school year book. I thought I was not popular with girls but my yearbook is FILLED WITH PHONE NUMBERS.
What the hell.
Obviously I was so wrapped up in my misery and isolation that I preferred my emotions to objective evidence.
I suspect that happens a lot and that we are not uniquely stupid.
Alternatively, you and I are uniquely stupid. Aarrghh!
Yup

On behalf of all the plain jane's out there - we knew this day was coming. We're happy now with men who had some depth and could appreciate a genuine human being.
Some of you really need to learn to be less shallow.
