It’s all in the past now. The emotions are gone, but the memories are here to stay for a opportunity.
Without getting into too much detail, one of my buddies disagreed with a decision I made. The phone started very friendly and then I let him know about a recent decision I made with my girlfriend. The remainder of the phone call was a very negative, callous, and judgemental rant that I had to listen to. I felt like hanging up but thought that would have been too rude. Go figure.
After I had enough I let him know how his words affected me. He apologized and I don’t think he really meant it.
I went to bed with emotions. Anger, sadness, confusion, and overall just a bad night. The worst part is that it affected my morning. I called my girlfriend and let her know how I felt. She is currently on vacation in Paris and she had nachos delivered to me. That’s the type of girlfriend she is. She’s great!
However, I still couldn’t shake the conversation I had with my friend. My recovery was coming along well, but my moods were all over the place. My confidence was shot, and I didn’t feel happy.
I decided to text some friends of ours. That was it. That’s all it took.
Fast forward to a few hours later, I’m hanging out with them and doing some voiceover work for a friend of theirs. It’s a long story so I won’t get into it.
Now, I’m here typing this up and realizing how my mood has completely flipped. My thoughts heavily focused on a previous conversation that it affected me right up until I was distracted enough to gain a new perspective:
Everything is okay, and I’m still happy. Opinions are opinions and nothing more.
