>Never underestimate the power of speculation, or getting all those nagging little questions out in one big whoomp.

Finally got the chance to ask those questions I could only ask myself, mere speculation on my part, anyhow — but they were valid concerns and they’d certainly affect “potential friendship”. For the most part I was reassured, I could see the true confusion, naiveté… and unknowing.

I realized that sometimes people are at different timelines, and it might as well be now rather then later. So I’m at peace, and I think she realizes a bit more the impact that the decisions we make for ourselves have on others. Though none of it really makes any sense… that’s because she just hasn’t figured that out for herself yet. It’s for the best, I know that — though mainly in my head.

It’s time to get out, see the part of things that I haven’t been able to, be the young one – myself — again.

…just as soon as I get rid of this annoying cold*
