this morning #2231.

this morning, their reactions were raw. indecent even. hadn’t expected that at all. thought this was a safe space. i immediately regretted being honest with them. shut my mouth & pushed my chair back from the table. waited for one of them to elaborate. why the elaborate reaction? i know that i often lack the ability to tell the truth but, in this case, i’d thought that they’d be grateful that i’d made the effort to come clean. i guess not. they’d rather have me keep my indiscretions secret. i mean, i’ve done far worse & they always complain that they hate finding out about the suspect stuff that i’ve done the hard way. their reactions definitely make a compelling case for “be careful what you wish for.” fine. next time, i’ll make sure that they’re the last to know.
