that thing

Y'know that thing where you're offered everything you wanted? Something you've wanted for a long long time that embodies just about all you hoped for? Know what I mean?

 

But you know you can't take it? That as much as you wish you could you can't? That you have to do the right thing and say no?

 

And step back out alone, without what you could have had? And even though you did the right thing you feel like #### and it haunts you?

 

So you talk it out, you pray it out, you write it out, you get on your PS3 and you shoot it out. Hoping that somehow those exploding heads will clear yours. You wanna scream, you wanna yell, you wanna go back and take the other path.

 

But you can't. You can't go back on it.

 

And your Dad tells you that an ordinary man would have grabbed the opportunity without factoring in the consequences. That your action, he says, shows that you're an exceptional man and that he's proud of you.

 

You take the solace you get from that, but still. It sucks, y'know?

You're an exceptional man, and your dad saying that is probably the best compliment you can get. But still, if it helps, we'll all say it too.

:kaukau: It's strange, though, because you're writing about this as if you're expecting everyone to relate to you, which if it is the case then it disproved what your father told you about ordinary men. Well, regardless, you did the right thing, and I relate to you.

 

And yes, it definitely sucks. I'm still unhappy over some things I passed up.
