Done and done.
Just as I predicted. I love being right. I'm not petty, and I'm not mad because I didn't get an invite to a party. It's MY house; I don't need an invitation. I'm mad because for a year and a half I was nice to all of you, and yet you went to great lengths to make me feel unwelcome. For a year and a half I tried to "gain your respect," and all I got for my efforts was banned from events. Yes, after that I wasn't nice. After that I said bad things and made you mad. After that I almost didn't care anymore. I did go to the trouble of making private some journal entries, and that was the extent of my kindness from then on out.
What goes on in our relationship is OUR business, and if we can forgive each other it's no concern of anyone else's. I don't care anymore. You have every reason not to like me now because I've made it easy for you. But let's clear up one thing. I DID try to gain your respect. For a year and a half I did nothing but try to be nice. It could be you were just too intent on hating me to notice.
Let's be honest here--I did care what you thought about me for a long time, and for good reason. But this will be the last of your negativity in my journal, because I choose not to let you upset me anymore.
