about 18 months ago I was 210-215 and semi-happy in my life. I had a lot of stuff and I was skating by. I had this friend named Nick ---the things we had in common were bitching about life and being over-all negative about shit.
I had a crush on him for a while, but the more I think back to it, I think I was just lonely and wanted attention and he gave it to me.
anyway- that was 18 months ago. Then I got into crossfit. dropped weight. Became more confident. care less about the silly shit. I became happier. Nick and I, like some friends, fell in and out of touch over the months.
Recently I posted on my FB that I got my "level 1 cf cert". He IM'd me and said "what the hell is a CF cert?" I said "crossfit". he said "oh. that. you know, I almost defriended you because of that weight picture. (where I was dead-lifting weight--- the one i posted here).
me: whaaa? why would you do such a thing?
him: because you look like a tool.
....huh.
so after a few hours of kinda stewing about this (and after talking to autumn) I wrote him back.
"hey. I'm still kinda miffed about what you said earlier. Me working out doesn't make me a tool. Me doing something that i enjoy doesn't make me a tool. I'm sorry you think that of me, but I like who i am now. if you don't, then we shouldn't be friends." (or something along these lines).
I found out this morning that he defriended me on FB and blocked my IM.
heh. alright. that's fine. |
