i have never

been able to get over

just how completely he has never even begun to understand me, even a little bit. and much of the world around him. it's the fact that he thinks he does that really gets me. he's not even aware that he's unaware, and if you try to tell him, he'll kill himself going in circles of naive logic.

i think today has helped me realize that i am surrounded by so many people who are not like that in the least (in fact that seems to be the norm) and i am so so grateful to be here today and i pray to god that i may never cling like that again to something so unhealthy for myself, though it's certainly not his fault and i mean him no ill will

it's like how i just can't click with certain people from high school, maybe because we have such different world views that even though i theoretically understand where they're coming from, i just can't go there myself

here's to friends who understand people. (not religious but)

amen
