Decided earlier today to be delusionally optimistic
No just an affirmation like I was before, but that's now my default
Everything is going to go my way and be even better than I imagined, and any perceived set back will not only be a learning lesson, but will ultimately help me 10x compared to not
This is what I am training myself to think all day, every day
So far today, I settled a case for a great outcome, and may have found the house I've been looking for
Why not. As @ScottAdamsSays would say, if something is not working for you, why not try something else?
I am generally an optimistic person, but I want to optimism maxxxx to the point things start happening in my life that don't make sense to anyone else but me and the 17 people who read this tweet
I have had people with restraining orders against each other in my office a year later holding hands
It's over when one of the people is dead, otherwise you never know
Believe there's some crazy wikipedia out there of a couple who the guy almost murdered her, the craziest stuff you can ever imagine and I think they got married
There are people who got re-married the same week they got divorced
Like I wrote earlier, it's situation dependent and the other person has to miss you. If that happens, all bets are off
@BowTiedKong Agree but would you say there's a selection bias since you only get contacted once it's truly over? Maybe they actually do "force" reconciliation more often but you just never see that.
My non proven whatsoever theory is that type A guys take break-ups/divorces harder because they are so used to being able to fix things.
generally, they are determined to get things right and will do whatever it takes, but that's not applicable when someone else has already made up her mind
It doesn't make sense to us because "we can try this or do that or what about this", and that's not happening unless the other person, on their own, decides that should happen...
and that thought cannot come into play when you are suggesting it. Total mind fuck for guys but is what it is
@BowTiedKong Been there. I tell all the boys when they call that the one thing I would’ve done differently as admitting to myself that it’s over much sooner - taking steps to get custody established and move on with life. Anyone getting into a relationship immediately afterwards is wild tho.
Great way to look stupid for no reason in a custody case is texting "I already provided that information"
Ex:
"hey what is your new address?"
"I already provided that"
You look like a child
How about:
"I emailed it over on X date and just forwarded it again. Please confirm receipt."
OR
"It's _______________. Please confirm you now have it."
Why do what I suggest? Because imagine seeing your "I already did that, what are you stupid?" text on a large screen during the trial for parenting time, because it will be
People liked Rahm when he was Chicago's mayor
I lived there most of his tenure - he made the Riverwalk incredible, kept the nice areas safe for tourists and partying
Rumor was that CPD and the gangs had a deal where the gangs kept their stuff in certain neighborhoods, CPD would not crack down
Lori came in and that was done. Almost immediately a gang banger/soundcloud rapper was murdered in a bouggie neighborhood (Gold Coast), some 80 year old widow walked outside, probably going to the next door Gucci store, found some 25 year old black guy dead on her porch
Rahm is an old school Democrat, I like his chances as well
Rahm Emanuel gets Obama, Hollywood, all of the big donors. He picks up most of the Never Trump'ers, too. That's a primary lock and strong ticket for the general.
