drunk texts from a drunk guy

I get it Universe. I really, actually get it. I can say that and mean it. It’s rare that I can say it and mean it, but this time I actually do. I am worthy of being treated nicely. I get it. So last night I was going to bed when my phone announced that I had a new text message. (My phone actually talks to me, which I think is cool, but some people think it’s weird) “Message from ATC” it said. WHAT?! I haven’t talked to him in months. He must be drunk. Well, after he tells me that I need to “come to LA like now” (though, he used an “incorrect” spelling for “come”…tool). I replied “Wow, random drunk dial!” And he said “It’s not random, you need to move to Cali!” Ok. Now it makes sense. In his drunken stupor, he misdialed and texted me on accident. After a few texts of me explaining who I was and how I’m most likely not the intended recipient, he figured it out. Well, then he got all mad and said that I was in the wrong for what I last said to him, and how dare I blame him for things. I said “all I said to you was ‘I need to work on not being in unhealthy situations, and you need to focus on your baby’.” I mean, I guess I can maybe see how he thought I was calling him unhealthy. But, I meant the whole situation was unhealthy, and I was equally to blame for it. Talking to a guy who is sharing a house with his baby mama is not a situation I need to be a part of. I don’t need to beg someone for attention and take whatever he’ll give me. I deserve better. And, now I have better. Now I have New Marine who fawns all over me, and gives me more attention than I can handle. And, he’s not perverted or crass, cause he wants to make sure I know he respects me. He’s so sweet and thoughtful. That is what I deserve. Not a drunken party-boy who impregnates women he has no feelings for. I do miss talking to ATC at times, cause he was amusing. But, I have no desire at all to rekindle even a friendship with him. It’s just not worth it to me. I have good people in my life, and I’m keeping it that way. I’ve recently cut out a few people who I was once close with, just because it was too much drama knowing them. And then you hear stories about how they’re always talking behind your back. That’s just immature nonsense I don’t feel like dealing with. I love the people in my life. And yeah, sometimes we’re going to fight and disagree on things. But, when it’s a real friendship, you’re willing to move on and get over things. You’re willing to swallow your pride and talk about things. You’re willing to say “I’m sorry. Maybe I was out of line” or “I’m sorry that I hurt your feelings.” And when you really care about people you’re willing to say “It’s ok, let’s move on from here and be better for it.” That’s what I have with my family and my closest friends. That’s what I have with New Marine. I mean, we haven’t had any big blow-up yet, but I’m sure we will. And, I can just tell already that that’s how he’s going to be, because we already have a mutual respect for each other. And ATC can go send dirty texts to some other girl, cause I don’t want them.
