Today is the first day of my new life

[ThePresence]

I find no reason whatsoever to change the teams that I've rooted for since I was a fetus.
They will remain the same.
Forever.
And ever.
And beyond.

I've never done that before.
I feel so... liberated.

Good for you!

A post like that makes me even more thankful for the good friends I have. I have friends that I can literally tell them anything and know they'll keep it in confidence. Excluding family, it's a good feeling to know there are people you would kill or die for and they feel the same.

Care to be a little less cryptic?

What was all this about?

Well, I was talking to a friend of mine who also happens to be a psychologist. But we were just talking, not in a professional capacity. And out of nowhere he mentioned something that he's always noticed about me, etc, how I can never open up and talk about myself honestly without trying to impress others. It basically turned into a 3 hour therapy session. I never in my life would've thought that therapy could do me any good. It's the most honest conversation I've ever had with anyone.

I need to ask you this then. Then I'm off work.
I spent the first 15 years of my life trying to fit in, after varsity, a sequence of events which I will not elaborate on now turned the rest of my life around.

1. I gave up my directorship two months ago. Shocked the company. I worked so hard for it.
2. I sold all three of my cars, and now I ride a scooter
3. My "friend" count from over 100 down to a handful, ALL of which ... I'm lost for words... when we speak, do so in the purest, simplest and honest manner.
4. One of them is my girlfriend and will be my wife.

I gave up a s*5tload to experience what I have today. I hope you know what I'm referring to. I dont expect ATOT to.

I have 5 friends like that. If one of them called me a 3:30AM to help move a body I can honestly say I would get in the car and help them move a body.

I know exactly what you mean. I didn't always.

Has he exploited it yet?

Not sure what you mean.
He's a friend. Friends don't exploit their friends.

My wife and friends and I just lost a friend like that. That is crappy let me tell you, but I learned that as you grow older and lose dear friends like that, you can either;
1. Lament the loss and watch as the circle grows smaller and you lose touch.
2. Make new friends.

I am going for the latter
I look back on the last couple of years and can be thankful for the new people I have met.:thumbsup:
