Oh man, I'm not gonna dismiss Austin, but I feel confident Bear Schlong will back me up in saying, there is a lot of crazy everywhere.
That said, I know some of my family felt bad about giving me the cold shoulder at some point. I can only hope some friends I lost did too.
When I say hope they felt bad, let me be clear, that's me hoping I can still or have to some degree redeemed myself. I hope those I lost will forgive me if I get a chance to apologize. I hope I didn't cause them too much pain.
Basically, "I hope they felt bad" should really be, I feel bad for having run them off. I hope they'll forgive me.
That's me rambling late after driving too many hours and recently becoming unemployed but still happy to be alive and sober for over 10 years. If it's poorly worded, I apologize.
Saw a good friend today, seeing family and friends this weekend.
Love this world, love my life.
