Monique: “I like to be nice sometimes. And I like it when you are nice to me.”
Mark: “Sorry. Like I say…I get on a roll… I go overboard. I try to be nice too. I like being nice.”
Mark: “I never mean the mean things I guess I don’t think I’m being hurtful because I genuinely don’t mean those things. Just the opposite.”
Monique: “Okay. That’s good to know. Sometimes it’s hard to tell. And then I feel like you think I’m silly in a bad way or not as smart as you …”
Mark: “Not at all. I know you can keep pace with me.”
So what do you do, when you have two people who both use sarcasm too much? He can throw out the zingers, but gets his feelings bruised when I call him a “jackass.” I can dish it back to him, but then I start to take what he’s saying personally, even though his actions show that isn’t his intent.
But I’ve heard from Ryan more this weekend than I have Mark. Ryan wants to hook up next week. The thought, self-destructive as it is, still is appealing. At least with him I know what I’m getting.

Why are people habitually blue pillers and continue to stick with the things they know no matter how unhappy those things have made them in the past? It’s actually an interesting dilemna… and one that seems to affect a wide variety of personalities.
I say to hell with the blue pill… take the red pill… and down the rabbit hole you should go…
Then again… who the hell am I to give advice?
