Things We Say

[jackofallgeeks]

So some things were said last night that have been bugging me into today.

The particulars aren't important, really. It's sufficient to say that it had to do with Romance, and the strong implication that I don't know what I'm doing. Specifically, that I would be so blind as to involve myself with someone who would try to radically alter who I am, and/or control who I associate with. Put simply, I'd like to say I know better than that. Historically, crimes against my friends have been deal breakers before, as has been pressure to change who I fundamentally am.

Anyways. It's still bugging me a bit, mostly because it hasn't yet been condensed into something I can really express meaningfully, but I wasn't to say something.

And, such as it is, this is all appreciated. But remember, I can be quite cynical myself, and if nothing else I'm too stubborn to settle. As noted, my love-life would be quite different if I were willing to compromise with myself.

All I ask is that you, my friends generally not just Anastasiya, at least give me the benefit of the doubt that I know what I'm doing and that I'm not going to be stupid about things.
