You wanted to give me a teardrop cut engagement ring.
You remember?
I just don’t like the symbolism. Do you know what gangster guys have teardrop TATTOOS on their faces?!
(Smirking) that’s why I like it!
Noooooo…
So we’re not engaged yet, because we can’t agree on a ring for you.
*SIGH*……. we need to find a compromise.
A compromise?
Yes. A compromise. We have to work on finding a compromise. That’s the only way it’s going to work in the long run.
Compromise… it sounds like a good title for a song.
Sure, go write it. I’d love to hear what you figure out about “Compromises” in relationships, in a song. (Smiles)
…
Something different about compromises, back then?
Yes… someone gave me THE HUNDRED PERCENT MOST TERRIBLE ADVICE ABOUT COMPROMISES…
Not for this blog?
No. We’ll talk about it in real life.
Come on, give me a little clue…
I just want to say, I keep referring to other people in the past, as if it’s “their fault” for giving me that advice, it’s not. It’s mine. For listening. For taking it on at the time. For not knowing which other ways to go about it. I was still young, relatively. I know. And in hindsight, now, especially — older and slightly wiser? I don’t know. But I do know that I look at the world in a different way. I don’t even ASK other people for advice, most of the time, these days… (Unless it’s like, work processes, etc). You know — it’s just different. It’s very different. And you haven’t spent THAT MUCH real life time… with me, as a more self-assured WOMAN… you simply haven’t.
So it is different… there’s gonna be a huge difference.
(Sheepish grin) I’m looking forward to it.
You just turn into a little lamb when you’re around “The New Me” in real life.
Yes. (Giggles) You’re so HOT!!!
*Sigh* You’re the ONLY ONE who THINKS THAT these days.
No. I am not. I know for a fucking fact that I am NOT. I’m still easily jealous. There’s always other guys lurking. I fucking HATE THAT.
Well… other guys aren’t niche influencers, are they?
BABY, YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW.
What?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
You don’t know what you don’t know.
What don’t I know?!
You don’t know!
