this morning #1392.

this morning, in an act of inevitable self-defense, i opted to fire the first shot. then i paced back & forth in the hallway, shaking. waiting for the inevitable response. it took a few minutes but when it came, i felt quite ashamed. immediately saw the error of my ways. in a vain attempt to secure my own safety, i may have tossed out an unfounded allegation or two. it’s like my therapist says. “you choose to hurt them before they have a chance to hurt you. that’s what you do.” it’s true. she continues, “once you do, you apologize to them, believing that by doing so, they’ll assume that you’ve learned your lesson & they’ll like you better for it.” the last part’s not entirely right but then again, it’s not entirely wrong.
