Don't worry; I'm not dwelling on it or letting that be something that allows me to continue to suck. It was just something that came out of nowhere that I need to refigure my tactics with. It all just kinda came as a shockingly disappointing realization. Nothing worthy of spawning more dysfunction, though. Thanks, Brody.

Once you've acknowledged that you had a sub-optimal past, there's not much you can do besides making the decision to NOT be that person any more. You can't change it. You can't fix it...so why put energy towards it? Who's to say that you being like that as a kid didn't help make you the person you are NOW? I think there's some stuff we just need to be/do, so we can finally understand we don't want to do that any more, and that we can make better choices. Perhaps just celebrate that you got it out of the way early? I feel the same way about having gotten married and trying to be monogamous when I was younger. Turns out it's not for me, either one of those things....but I'm glad I'm not having to realize that NOW. (insert some sort of cliche about adversity and nasty shit building solid foundations if you choose to learn from it rather than let it consume you).

"Dorky and fun" is a blueprint with which I'm comfortable and can work. Thanks for that. P.S. “Dorky and fun” is a blueprint with which I’m comfortable and can work. Thanks for that.

Incidentally, though, you met me during the single two greatest weeks of my entire adolescence, so that had a lot to do with it, too. I'm definitely not complaining; I'm eternally glad you've stuck around since then. :) Oh, and I love you even more because you included "dorky" in your description. The reasons are multi-fold, just know that it was tremendously appreciated with a literal LOL. Thanks, Pose.

I don't think it's necessarily true that you've been a mean and terrible person your whole life... memory is certainly a fallible thing, so before you write yourself off to the bad books completely, know that there are at least one or two old friends out there whom you have never wronged or hurt or made to feel anything but awesome. And if you were really mean, then I must have had the same mean streak because we got on great :) For whatever it’s worth, I don’t remember you being anything but dorky and fun and funny at GRP.
