Picking at Old Wounds

I don't know why I do it. But every now and again, I'll go and "check" on folks I once used to know, but resolved to walk away from for a variety of reasons. Mostly rather hurtful reasons. A few of the rather stupid mistakes I've made in the last 10 years or so.

...my god has it been so long...

I don't know why I do it, still. I know better. Really REALLY know better. I also know I won't ever go back. I'm too proud to let some things just pass, and too honest to claim it was a misunderstanding when I really don't think it was.

It's gone, it's over, I really should just let it go. And for the most part I do. Not turning around on what I've sworn to turn my back to.

...but sometimes I kinda sneak a glance through a mirror. Just to see.

Sometimes I need blinders, not mirrors.

You know, I was thinking this afternoon. Stop laughing.

It occured to me that between your brother, yourself, and me, we're one complete person.

The 3 basic human emotions are supposed to be happy, sad, and mad, and that all other emotional states are derived from these. We're a bit of a trinity there. You're the depressing moody one. Your brother's the Klingon in a Nike hat. And I'm always passively content.

And I'm deep!

What's that, Suikoden 5? You say you have a New Game+ mode? I get to keep my party skill points and inventory items? For joy!
