Maudlin expressions of regret and remorse do not suit me
October 25, 2010Bayside might have said it best, “When we were young we never cared. But, now we’re scared of jumping in, like we’ve forgotten how to swim.” I like little kids because they are terrible liars, they just have not yet figured out how to be douches. They let you have it, generally without bias or malice. Kids call things like they see them, I appreciate that, good or bad.
See, if a kid loves you, they tell you. It doesn’t matter to them if they have known you two minutes or two years, they make the judgement and immediately pronounce it. They don’t wait until they think you will say it back or until a seemingly proper amount of time has pass or some other completely socially fabricated series of events has occurred. It is rather ballsy on their part, even if they do not see the danger in it.
I strive to be that ballsy about all things in my life. We all know it is rare for me to let the negative go without remark. There just is not enough guaranteed time not to jump in, to let people know how you feel, to show people you care.
Maudlin expressions of regret and remorse do not suit me, I live my life so that there is no reason for such crap.
