On a day like today I would like to ask for a little less self-involvement, a little more awareness, a little more owning up to your own actions. Don’t choose to do something, as you did today, to make you feel better as opposed to making me feel better. Don’t apologize for the specifics, apologize for instigating this in the first place, for making that poor choice, for causing me pain. I’m done apologizing for what part I’ve played and made it clear that I am done. But don’t be so casual and cavalier. I’m done, leave me be, I know what’s really going on now and I’m embarrased as hell that my solitary distress has been so public. I’m embarrased and sad for that time lost, lost when had I known then what was really going on I could have been so much better so faster.

So let’s truly be done. We will all be friends again soon, I hope, and I too will choose more carefully next time.
