It's Gestalt
Course, some run-ins are very nice. Remember the curly-haired girl? She dropped me a very personal email of condolence regarding my grandmother. Had to stop reading it halfway cause it was so honest. She was always very sweet. Also, a beautiful girl I've not seen in a decade sent me the following: Don't know why, but I'm not worried about you at all. I know very little about you but I know you'll make it again.
It's the random bits of kindness that help us through.
Speaking of which, yesterday, PCD and I took a walk around town after work. The weather was just perfect. Today, spent the day in a lawyer's office for some litigation I'm a part of. Always impressive to see people that are good at their craft at work.
As I write this a friend just dumped his bad day on me. Man! That's like the opposite of a random bit of kindness - it's a random bit of here's my crap, you deal with it. Don't want someone else's bad day - got enough of my own, dontcha think? Luckily, got my good moments too:
Me: OUCH!
Her: I'm kidding...Me: Good.
Her: Yeah, you're a lot older than her. (later) Hey, make a face like the monkey in the video.Me: Why would I do that?
Her: Because you're cute and monkeys are cute - it's gestalt!Thought it was a tautology but I think I'm wrong. Eh, it happens. Either way, smart girls're hot.
Speaking of which...Heartgirl's back tomorrow.
