He Was Just A Bad Person - Tumblr Posts

Damned if you do.

If I had stopped an spoken to his cousin and his sister, he would have found some fault in what I said.

If I kept it to small talk, I would have been shallow and insincere.  If I told them how I was doing at work, I would have been making myself seem more important that I was. If I talked about him, I would have been embarrassing him by including myself in his life.  If I asked about them, I would have been prying for information on him that I was not entitled to.

I had to be honest.  But not too honest.  And not honest at all about certain things - arbitrary topics that he picked that I was not privy to until I had already committed the “crime”.

No matter what decision it was, it was always the wrong decision.  Simply because I made it.
