It’s a hard truth, brother, and I have come to accept it. When we had our disagreement, you mentioned karma 🤔 truth be told, this is my karmic debt. The mistake we often make is that we equate this life’s disappointments with the sum of this life’s choices (good and/or bad). That’s not the case. I firmly believe that it’s baggage from a previous life.
In the case of a female not being in my life …perhaps, I took one for granted, in a prior life. That’s one of the reasons why I truly respect Buddhist monks … their blind acceptance of trials, travails, and tribulations.
Despite this apparent shortcoming, I can assure you that I have led and - in different ways - still lead a blessed life. I may not be where I want to be, but I am at peace with that. It doesn’t mean a future date with a tropical idyll isn’t in the offing. I am assured that it is.
Anyway, amid your studies, don’t forget to enjoy your downtime 😊 and the upcoming weekend.
Also, think about all the skills you’ve learned along the way! The more you learn, the more you have to build on in the future. Rob said he never went to college, but we both have. I studied TV communications because I thought that was the path I was meant to follow. Unfortunately, some things happened that took me in a different direction. I went through a devastating breakup with a girl that sent me down a dark path for a while. Looking back, though, I believe things happened for a reason because I ended up devoting seven years of my life to caring for my grandparents until they passed away. It wasn’t the path I originally envisioned for myself, but being there for them was something meaningful that I’ll always carry with me.
That is a lot, Mark! You definitely didn’t waste your time, though, because throughout your journey in your majors, you’ve learned a lot about what has worked and what hasn’t. It can’t have been easy getting into a college like Trinity! Congratulations on that achievement! You should be proud of yourself!
We’re talking about possibly coming over to Ireland because my family would love to finally visit the homeland of our ancestors! I’m not sure if it will happen yet, but we’re discussing it. It would be amazing to explore our Irish roots and experience the country our family came from!
Did you know that back in high school, I was in a band called High Voltage? 😂🤘 I noticed your banner, and it reminded me of that. The band never really went anywhere, but we couldn’t come up with a name, so I suggested High Voltage.
We played random oldies, lol. The funny thing is, Rob said I can’t play guitar, but even though I was the drummer in the band, I actually had to teach our so-called guitarist how to play! 🤣 Honestly, most of the band members didn’t give a shit about the music. They were more interested in partying and getting shit-faced, lol. 🍻
I can’t get past Rob threatening you, though. He literally said he would beat the shit out of you and that he would need someone to hold him back from killing you. Yeah, I woke up with that playing over and over in my head. So no, there’s absolutely no way I’ll ever reconcile with him. That crosses a line, and I truly believe he needs to be banned from here.
Rob’s behavior is seriously concerning. I can almost guarantee he’s throwing a fit in someone’s private messages right now. That’s what he does. He has to be blowing a fuse over all of this.
When he went off on you recently on Jacob’s page, I told him he needed to take it easy. His health isn’t great, and I was genuinely looking out for him. But he wouldn’t stop, so I got involved. He was on another rampage, and I finally decided to read through his messages, give everything some serious thought, and move on from him.
There’s something else that has always bothered me about him. The way he brings up having a job, a car, a wife, and all that other stuff. He uses those things to put you down, and he’s done the same thing to me. That isn’t right. Who does that? Attacking someone’s personal life and telling them they’ll never get anywhere is just cruel and unnecessary.
He doesn’t believe you’re studying law for a second. Genny has apparently been talking to him behind the scenes, and she’s said she doesn’t think it adds up and believes it’s all lies.
So when you say Rob and Genny has played a part in turning people against you, I believe there’s truth to that. From my own experience, I can see how both of them have contributed to it.
Perhaps, what I described is the epiphany that I have been searching for. Personally, I think that I cursed myself and the ALONE thing is my this-life atonement.
I like listening to this Shaolin monk … imagine that? Is it sacrilegious for a Cathoholic to listen to a Buddhist monk? Funny how Ai can mimic the voice of a famous person. Once they get the tonal inflection and nuances of a person’s facial expressions down pat, there will be no way to discern real from feigned and that’s the scariest attribute of Ai. By the way, I consider Tony to be part of the family 🤔 enjoy your Thursday.
As for you and me, I'm more than happy to leave the past where it belongs and move on in peace. I know I've played a part in everything that happened, and I'm genuinely sorry for that. I wish you the best with your studies, and I'll leave it at that. Take care, Mark.
After everything you've told me and everything that's happened, I'm not interested in a friendship with Rob ever again. I've given him chance after chance, and I'm done with that whole situation. I'm tired of the drama and being caught up in all of this. I should have seen things for what they were a long time ago, but I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt. That's on me.
I appreciate you being honest with me about what he's said behind my back. I wish I had known some of these things sooner because maybe I wouldn't have kept giving him so many chances.
Honestly, Mark, I did want to know because I wanted to understand what was being said about me behind my back. Maybe you're right that there's no point in rehashing everything, but I appreciate you finally being honest with me about some of it.
It hurts to hear that Rob said those things about me, especially the accusations about my character and the kind of person I am. I know I've made mistakes, and I won't pretend I've always handled things the right way, particularly when emotions got the better of me. But that doesn't mean everything said about me was true.
As for my friendship with Rob, I kept giving him chances because I wanted to believe that we could put the past behind us and move forward. Maybe I was foolish for that, but I genuinely wanted to believe things could be different. I can't speak to everything he said to you, but hearing this certainly makes me look at things differently.
I also understand why you believed some of what he said, considering how I treated you in the past. I'm not going to hold that against you. I gave you reasons to question me, and I've already apologized for my part in that.
I'm not asking you to tell me every awful thing he ever said, nor do I want to keep this drama going indefinitely. I just wanted the truth because I was tired of being caught in the middle without knowing what was really going on.
I got to go for now. Take care of pets and have supper. Have a good night
I can understand why you would question things, Mark, especially with the timing of everything and what you've experienced with Rob. I honestly don't know whether he had anything to do with what happened between you and Genny, so I wouldn't want to assume that without knowing the facts. But I can understand why you have your suspicions.
I know this whole situation has taken a toll on everyone involved, and I can see why you've reached the point where you no longer want anything to do with it. Looking back, I realize how much unnecessary drama there has been and how easily people, myself included, got caught up in it.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I did everything right because I didn't. I've made mistakes, said things I regret, and allowed myself to get pulled into situations I should have stayed out of. That's on me, and I'm genuinely sorry for my part in it.
I can't speak for anyone else or change what happened, but I can choose to move forward differently. I don't want any more grudges, arguments, or people talking behind one another's backs. Life is too short for all of that. I sincerely hope you find some peace with everything, Mark, and I hope we can both move on without any more hostility.
That’s how they test your mettle and prepare you for the courtroom or the boardroom. Of course, it has a lot to do with testing your mental retention, but it also simulates the fire you might face in a prospective court case. I do not envy lawyers … I would plead all my clients GUILTY 😝
Me? It’s not a state of horniness, but I would like the fairer sex to enter my life and attempt to quell my need to be complemented <<< not the flattering compliment but the one where someone completes us. Easier said than done and akin to an ideal that’s never met. A bit of serendipity wouldn’t hurt.
Plus, we’re going into the holidays and they suck being alone. Although, I have always enjoyed NEW YEAR’S by myself. Perhaps, Boston beckons …
How’s about you? Any fetching fellow students? Be careful getting involved. Anyway, enjoy a good night’s rest, when it finds you. By the way, the topic of your essay sounds interesting 🤔
