I got in touch with this guy who I knew growing up about going to see him tomorrow. After talking with him on the phone a few times, I regret this decision. I'll just say it, he can be really annoying and insulting at times. I really don't want to travel out of town to see him, but I've already blown him off once and I've sort of locked myself in. Anyway, just annoyed and venting

So why go? To appease someone who you don't really care if you see anyway?

One nice thing about being a grown up is that I sometimes don't have to do things I really do not want to do.

So why, Ohta, do something you do not want to do, and feel ? And, by doing so, you might jeopordize your "adult" understanding of the situation ? An adult, or a child understands this, and moves on !

I do not want this to seem as a judgement call, but a possible insight to "why do you do the things you do ? ".

Not

Sometimes I don't feel like going to work, but I have to. Or maybe go to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned. Gotta do what I don't want to do.
But if I don't want to go to sit in the crowds and watch the fireworks, I don't have to.

Well, our families know each other and I was at obe time good friends with his brother. I guess I am doing something I don't want to do. At first, I was doing it for him, as he is not doing great himself. But he has annoyed me so much, I'm like, why did I bother? Oh well, if he starts annoying me tomorrow, I'll just tell him, and hit the road.

yes, somedays I do not "want" to do the things I "should"...
But I do the things that matter most...loving myself. And caring, in a momentous way,
about the people and animals, and trees that I LOVE !
