(no subject)
It never ceases to amaze me how easily I can become susceptible to people. I didn’t go to graduation. And it is also true that I haven’t tried to contact many of my ‘friends’ from high school in the week since we’ve been off. This is not because I am inconsiderate, this is because to me, it doesn’t feel like I’ve been away from everyone long enough for it to be a big deal when I speak to them.
The point of this whole this is because of a phone conversation that I hade today, that is if you can even call it a conversation. You see, the individual (if they read this) will know it’s them, so no names…
They contacted me yesterday stating that it has been a week since I had talked to them and that the last time I saw them I treated them with discontent. And this is something that I will not deny, because I am well aware of the fact that I did. And you know what, I apologize. I’ve got way to much going on right now trying to make a good impression with by bosses before the restaurant opens. And I have been testy lately. Not to mention that I have other issues going on that I’d rather not talk of right now. Anyway, moving on to today, I decided that I would try and call them and I was truly not surprised when they didn’t answer, so I did the usual exercise in futility and left a message stating that I was in the area and that I would call them back later. A tragic turn of events happened as it seems that this individual tried calling me back, and since I had just recently gotten off work I has my phone set on Silent (yep as you guessed I didn’t notice my phone going off). While I was out, that issue that I mentioned earlier popped up again shopping at Spencer’s in the Town Mall. And again, I got pissed. So as I got home, I noticed when I set my phone up to charge that I had two missed calls, and I felt bad about it and called them back. The following conversation lasted 13 seconds. It consisted of ‘what’s up?’, ‘that’s good’ and “I thought you were in the area’…it then ended in ‘I gotta go bye.’…
Yet again, I got upset over something insignificant and wasted my time and minuets. It’s not even like the individual really needed to talk to me anyway, myself being a waste of time in the first place.
It may sound as though I am putting myself down, however, this is far from it. In fact, I am praising myself. You see, This lack of emotional, intellectual and spiritual impact that I have on my ‘friends’ lives have given me the ability to go for long periods of time without the growth that comes with socializing with other individuals.
- In sort, being a friend of mine twiddles itself down to nothing more than an exercise in stress, patience and isolationism. You really don’t need it, and I will live a much better life not worrying about it. So unless you think that I am somehow ( And this is probability defying) THAT important, quit now while your ahead.
Power is gained though knowledge,
The faster you obtain this knowledge, the faster you obtain that power,
However, with an increase in knowledge is closely followed by an increase in sorrow.
So in the end you must ask yourself…
Would you rather be intelligent and miserable?
Or…blissfully dim-witted?
