"When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion."
Something happened today that made me feel pretty bad; there are few times in my life that I've felt worse. My good friend and ex-girlfriend, Kristin, gave me a Christmas gift that she made herself. Its a blue hoody with half dome cross-stitched into the right chest. She did a wonderful job and I love it.
What made me feel bad, like an ass really, was that she started it when she was still my girlfriend, and, she did not explicitly say but I figure, she finished it after I broke up with her. Pouring some iodine in the reopened wound, I've done some small amounts of cross-stitch in the past, and so I have a good idea of the large amount of effort she put into it.
I was quite literally rendered speechless. I don't know how to feel. I'm not even sure the shock has cleared.
