Today was great.
I came to several realizations, the first and foremost of which being that my girlfriend makes AMAZING cookies...When she doesn't use too much salt. In all reality, this Valentines day far exceeded my expectations. Sure, there were the average displays of voracious consumerism, but I also saw another front: Gifts from the heart. It didn't make a difference to the recipients whether it was a necklace, a poem, a stuffed bear, cupcakes that on which the icing spelled "I LOVE YOU" or a tub full of chocolate chip cookies. All that mattered to the people who got gifts was knowing that they were on the person's mind. It's always nice to know someone cares about you, isn't it?
Now for the rant/manifesto.
When you find out someone truly cares for you how do you handle it? Do you tell them how you feel, be it mutual or contradictory? Do you just let an opportunity pass you by? I never have. I always admitted my true feelings, one way or another. I'm sorry that I've moved on and you haven't, but that's not my fault whatsoever. You're the one that was too late. Anyways, all that stuff happened in MAY of LAST YEAR. Let it go. That's the only way you'll ever be happy. I'm with her, and I'm never going to be with you. Drop it. It's the called the past for a reason; The opportunity passed by you, and you didn't take it up. Did you think I was going to wait for you? No, I wasn't. So when you told me that day, I pretty much told you it was too late. Shit happens. Opinions change. People change. Learn to live with it. No need to act like a fucking baby and make drama out of absolutely nothing just because I didn't want you. I'm sick of you, the way you behave, and the way you go about getting the things you want. Just leave me alone and quit making something from nothing. I'm finally happy and you have to come fuck it up for me. I was having a great day, until you said something, and this is what I think about the entire situation. Oh, and before you accuse me of talking behind your back, it's because I respect you enough not to be totally rude.
Anyways, back to the happy. I can't believe how amazingly lucky I am to have the girl that I do. She's amazing, and wonderful, and all but perfect. I can see this one lasting quite awhile, because I'm not letting go until she makes me.
