Do you ever just want to shove your happiness and success in the face of an old ex?
I've dated my fair share of women, I'm an average guy. However, there is one ex that was up to some really shady stuff, so I dumped her (she admitted everything and I wouldn't take her back). I've had relationships but she's really the only girl I've ever dated that tried to do that kind of stuff behind my back. Now, I have an amazing girlfriend, I am very successful and honestly happy. It is a great thing when you can wake up in the morning and say to yourself "I am honestly happy". My life isn;t the best in the universe but I am happy and achieved all the goals I set out to when was seeing her. Now, I can't help to feel, anytime she comes up or I am reminded of her, that I would just love to shove it ion her face. It's not like this desire consumes me or anything but I'd love to just be like "oh yeah, you thought you loved me then, I'm twice the person now. And you messed up a really good thing, by being selfish" Does anyone ever have any of that going on?
I got an invitation to a high school reunion where I was bullied. I am successful in my career. I want the satisfaction that I’m doing better than my bullies, but I don’t want to demean myself on that level. Should I go?
My experience with high school reunions (at least in the large city where I grew up) is that most of the people who come are people who are comfortable with themselves - their achievements, their happiness, their status. The losers don’t show up and unfortunately a lot of people who were just solid nice people don’t show up, perhaps because they never felt that high school did much for them.That would suggest to me that if you hope to blow the jerks away with your present self-confidence and success, it won’t happen. They probably won’t be there.Bottom line; if you have friends or teachers that you would like to see and if it is not a major financial or scheduling burden, then go. Otherwise indulge yourself at the theatre or a spa and revel in the self-satisfaction that success brings.An anecdote comes to mind. The husband of a former colleague was bullied all through high school by a large jerk. When he finished high school he earned a bachelor’s degree and then a masters at a good local university. He then applied for and was awarded a full scholarship to a major English university to do his doctorate. On the day that he flew to England, he sat down at his assigned window seat on the airplane and looked out to see the bully loading his luggage on the plane. Sweet justice for sure.
How do you measure accomplishment in life?
The first time I met Blossom’s grandparents was when we were dating. Blossom warned me that her grandfather, Carlos, could be tough.“Hmmm,” I said, “This could be interesting.”So we drove over to Walnut Creek in the east bay one Sunday afternoon, and had lunch with her grandparents. After lunch, Carlos gestured for me to come into his study so we could talk.We got on very well. We were laughing and joking together, and enjoyed each other’s company.We continued driving over to Walnut Creek once a month for the next several years. After we got married, Carlos became “Papa.”Papa reminded me so much of my own grandfather. He was smart and very proud of his heritage. And he was very well read.We could talk about politics or history. It didn’t matter. Papa knew what was going on. Papa, like my grandfather, had a great effect on those he met.What I didn’t know about Papa was that, from the time I first met him, he had Parkinson’s disease.Over the years, I slowly watched him lose his ability to move. Near the end, he was stuck in a wheelchair. For the last few months of his life, he couldn’t speak.Papa knew what was going on because he was a medical doctor. He knew he had a limited time left.We were over at their house, and it was clear he had very little time left. He couldn’t speak, but I had something I wanted to tell him.I leaned over, and I whispered into his ear, “The measure of a man’s life is the effect he has on the people he comes into contact with. And you’ve had a great effect on the people you’ve touched.”Papa died about two weeks later. His pain was over.I envision Papa and my grandfather in the afterlife having drinks and debating history and politics. Two proud men who had a great influence on the people they came into contact with.
What was your experience with the abortion pill?
how much did it cost you, planned parenthood's website says $350-650 which is a big difference. i read somewhere that it usually is more painful for skinny girls, i weigh 105 pounds. has anyone tried an herbal abortion, would that be better? it's been 6 weeks since my last period. if your going to post anti-abortion stuff don't bother, my boyfriend and i have talked about it and we cant afford to take care of a child and we don't want to give it away to someone else.
