triumphantly i prevailed. it took some time, but it came back around. its about time. its been a year since ive seen corey. we dated for quite a while and were supposed to move to miami together, but he cheated and dumped me painfully, turned my friends against me and made me feel worthless. it was an ugly breakup and it took awhile to get over. i ended up going to costa rica for awhile to grow and escape it. well i was at the bar last night for janes 21st birthday and of all people i would run into, it would be him. he was telling me how he works at an appliance store, he had a huge beer gut, and he looked like mr. clean. he kept telling me i looked amazing and wanted to buy me drinks which i turned down. he even called me today wanting to take me to lunch.i never returned his call. i walked away with my friends laughing gloriously at the way life happens. i thought i had been the loser on the end of that one last year, but now i dont feel so stupid. for the first time i felt like the winner. and it felt damn good. i like to keep this in mind. your gonna meet people, and your gonna throw away good things on people who arent worth it. well remember later down the road. some people just age, and some just get prettier with age. those are the ones we always throw away and regret. because we felt that we must meet the current condition instead of setting ourselves up for tomorrow.
