The last three days. What I am.
In the last three days I've learned some things. Most of them are, long term speaking, good things to know. I learned (once again) what I believe. I learned what a friend believes. I learned that she won't be with me because of her beliefs. I learned it's not my fault. I learned how long it takes to walk to 34th street from Freebirds. I learned I'm still OK. I learned I wasn't on the rebound. I learned I wasn't in love. I learned to watch my mouth. I learned to set an alarm. I learned that my paranoia wasn't enough to end a relationship. I learned the perfect woman is still out there. I learned more about said perfect woman. I learned she wants nothing more than to stay in and watch a movie every friday night. I learned I might not be ready for her. I learned Freebirds isn't quite as good without company, or it may have been that I forgot the BBQ sauce. I learned that there are people not too far away that are much worse off than I am. I learned that I still like sunflower seeds and combos. I learned Ron White isn't as funny as he once was. I learned I can survive on my own. I learned what a hypocrite really is. I learned the devastating effects of guilt. I learned that crazy chicks are crazy. I learned that it doesn't always hurt. I learned how quickly things change. I learned how easy it is to expand the present into the future. I learned I can still do my best, and no more. I learned the value of $1.09. I learned it is a bad idea to eat a giant burrito and then walk a few miles at a brisk pace. I learned that it had been to long since I had eaten a hamburger. I learned that a lot can happen if you let it. I learned to open up more. I learned when to stop.
I also learned when to keep going. Here are some thoughts as to what I am. These are also posted on facebook.
