Aha Moment: The Ex

i met up with an ex tonight for coffee. the back story is that he said something really hurtful to me a long time ago and it has always kind of stuck with me. i consider myself a caring, kind, forgiving person and i was tired of feeling angry towards him, so i thought it might help. specifically, i thought i might bring it up in conversation to... i dunno, get an apology maybe. clear the air. the sad part is, i think this guy is clueless. do you ever have a "what the #@&% was i thinking dating this guy" moment? mmmhmmm. i basically spent an hour watching this guy love the sound of his own voice. and i hate HATE it when people challenge me on every. little. freaking. thing. if i like something, he doesn't. he has an opinion about my opinions.

all of that to say that i don't regret meeting up with him, but it's made me realize that i don't *need* to be friends with everyone. especially if we were never really friends in the first place! maybe i'm too much of a people pleaser sometimes. i care what others think of me.

oh well, scratch that off my to do list...

  1. This Jake-Ass will forever be in his own world and the sad part is is that he's gonna love himself and his world most likely forever. Truth be told he never deserved someone like you in his world and i do agree sometimes its time itself that is needed to be able to step back and out of his world to then re enter that vicious circle to be able to see just how vicious it was in the first place. Good on ya Jen ...to be able to see the light...or at least shine some proper light on what sounds like a HUGE douche bag. Then end. :) Love you. B p.s i hope that mad sense!
