Quick Vague Musing

[mlerules]

So, something happened recently that in the past would've led to days of beating myself up and agonizing. Instead, when I realized that I'd gotten hold of the wrong end of the stick and misread a situation and blurted something out, I only lost a half-night of sleep while drafting in my head an apologetic email which I then forwarded to another friend to look at along with a brief explanation of what happened. The friend said it sounded appropriate so I sent it off that AM and got a nice It's Fine response back.

YayPhew for not spinning so hard/much/long about a bone-headed move and for having friends who'll understand and forgive me when I potentially shoot myself in the foot by shooting off my mouth. I feel I've come a long way in figuring out...something...rships...myself in some ways (even if not others).

It does, however, show that Acting On My Gut doesn't always work out, although at least it wasn't fatal to a friendship. INSERT SHRUG EMOJI HERE
