I found this amidst my notes from EN3216 in d-term of last year... apparently I had a bit to say one day and was bored in class...

Needless to say, it transcends:

I really want to apologize for the way I acted - it probably wasn't appropriate.

Unfortunately though, it happened. "It's lost and gone and onto the next one." But life's not that easy; people hold grudges.

But I am the one who's not supposed to have problems. I'm the one who's just supposed to listen and never have a single issue worth discussing.

Well, today is a new day, it's different. Today I'm opening my mouth. No more biting my tongue. No more mashing the greys. I hurt, I feel. I've got issues to. Everyone does. And everyone deals.

And I'm not to blame for yours just because I'll take it, just 'cause it's the easiest way to turn. I work hard. I try hard. But if you're gonna leave me with the bad, you sure as heck let me have some of the good along with it. That's all I ask.

You complain that I don't give everyone else enough 'praise', enough 'feedback', enough 'inclusion'. It's not my fault if people don't do their jobs, they don't want to listen, and no one else wants them around. But you're not there to know. It's one word vs. another and I'm treated like a mute. So what about me, right? I'm going to give what I get because in this new world it's the only standard I know.

So think before you touch. Don't leave fingerprints on the glass unless you intend to wipe them off.

You break it, you buy it. Own it honey.
