Anticlimactic, but perhaps...

The good news is, I don't have to ever go to Chicago again. What a horrible place. I spent around 200$ on 3 hours of parking, if you include the parking ticket. And the ticket for having an out of date registration (oops?). Jesus Christ.

This feels pretty awful. Man. Well. I guess it is time for the next plan.

(gif of the fancy motorcycle man crashing his motorcycle, but emerging fine and going on to live a good life. With no motorcycles or Chicago at all.)

I'm actually kind of relieved that in the end it it is still true that real life doesn't work like a romantic comedy.

Man, I'm sorry you crashed your motorcycle, but I'm glad you aren't harmed. Get up, knock off the dust and plan your next move.

Feeling a lot better about this after 5 hours of driving in the dark. I have a lot of thoughts but they are not very organized so I am not going to inflict those on you.

Instead, some good driving music.

There was one particular song that really got me going at one point, and i can't for the life of me remember what it was.

Sorry it didn't work out, Inev. But you can feel good about knowing that you grabbed life by the balls today (yesterday). Carpe diem.

Man, a one-time chance to explain myself and hear a response is not a thing I am good at. So many things I wish I had said. So many questions I did not ask. Eff. In the moment my response was purely "OK, you think I shouldn't move here? You don't want to date me, or anyone right now? Thanks for the update. Bye, I am going to go do something different." I know that I need to just take that answer at face value, but that is a thing I am horrible at.

But, overall, this is one of the few things I have done for myself in my life that I am proud of.

A lot of my friends, when I started telling them the story, seemed amazed that 1. I did this and 2. I wasn't curled up crying in the fetal position. I choose to interpret this as meaning that I am surprisingly resilient.

1) When people tell you the truth, hear it.
2) Knowning is better than not knowing.


The courage it took you to do this is the stuff character is built from, so good on you.  You are not curled up fetal style because you know there was value to this regardless of the outcome, and also you know your life isn't black and white, and that there are endless variables to who you will be and how you will live.

... See a car plate trim by big mike naughton ford saying our tax dollars didn't build his business.  Call big mike naughton ford and explain that our tax dollars go to pay for the roads and his business would not exist without them.  Say fuck a lot to the manager at big mike naughton ford.
