guess I just got kicked off the volleyball team. oh snapp snap.
Well Vern, I do give a rat’s ass. I guess I thought friends helped one another out and supported each other. I’m pretty fucking sure I’m not mistaken – so I guess the logical answer is that you’re not willing to be a friend and I was wrong. I don’t understand how someone can care so much about themselves that they forget about the needs and wants of those around them.
To me this is like your Governors Ball. I offered to go with you so that you had a ride, friend to go with you, and could have a good time at something you enjoyed (Since you don’t/didn’t have transportation or a date). It took up my free time and went against a lot of things I believe in. However, because it was important to a friend, it was important to me to be there for them and support what made them happy. You could have said no, I would have been okay with that.
I see that friendship, respect, and caring about others is not reciprocal in your world. That’s fine and your choice. However – I refuse to let someone in my life as a friend that does not respect me as a friend in return.
“You could have said no, I would have been okay with that.”
Just because you can – does not always mean you should. I look at situations and think about benefit vs. cost. This benefited you more than it cost me – so I did what I felt was right to do for someone. I supported your passion and happiness about this. And, I’m glad I did because you were thrilled to be a part of it. Making you happy outweighed my discomfort about the whole affair.
Water under the bridge.
What’s done is done, and that’s that.
