Random Encounter

So I ran into an ex-boss(Who will remain nameless) in Walmart that fired me way back in the day for no reason. I didn't mention it; just asked her how she was, exchanged a few pleasantries then parted ways. Her husband tracked me down and asked were they hiring at my job. I'm no asshole, so I gave him my boss's number with instructions to get the job/interview. His wife comes back mentioning that I left the job we both worked at. I corrected her mentioning that she fired me. She seemed to have forgotten so I gave every detail. I think her husband was a bit embarrassed after that. I mentioned that I was fine shortly after because I had begun to manage at Domino's getting twice the salary and hours. I guess what I'm trying to say is, be kind to people because you never know when you'll need their help. Even if you'll never need their help, being nice is just the right thing to do. If it wasn't me, another person would've told her husband to go f*ck himself. But he will probably now be starting a new job in a few days. I didn't deserve to get fired back then, but it still ended up being a good thing because I would've wasted more of my life there. So I guess people should also be grateful for good and bad experiences because it'll help you evolve as a person if you survive.

Response To An Ex's Comment

Something has been plaguing me. Call it attention-seeking or whatever; but if I can't write here, where can I? I had this ex back in the day that dogged me out pretty bad. Everything from cheating on me with hella dudes to picking up her other guys in my car. Not only was I a top-notch boyfriend; but I saved her from her abusive parents and never cheated on her once. This same person recently told me she wanted quote unquote, "So much more"... Now I'm not going to be like everyone and my past self by blaming it on her/the other person. And I shouldn't assume that everyone has common sense. It was my fault for allowing myself to be treated like that. Now I know better. Not only was I a good companion back then, but I'm many worlds past that threshold now. I realize that anyone I talk to now would be instantly upgraded. But what would I have to gain from such a relationship? So I have to think like this from now on. I know what I can and will bring to the table in a relationship; If a woman can't bring at least 10 percent of that, she is no longer worth my time. Even if a miracle happened and she could; if she can't recognize the person I am, it would still be a waste of time. So I hope this piece of info can benefit some of y'all... And don't let people make feel like you're any less than what you are.
