My last post related to forgiveness and like that. I hope I practice the right kind of forgiveness in letting all of that shit go regarding that famous woman. The wrong kind of forgiveness involves vying for something in return, such as love, sex, attention, validation from women in return for such a gesture, and does not actually constitute genuine forgiveness. I'll try to practice self-awareness that I'm not veering over into "nice guy" territory. I think I can do that, and I think it's something worth working on.
When I invited that former cashier at that grocery store to my comic book sale and she was so nice about it, I vowed to not punish her for being so nice to me. Instead, when it became apparent that she would not reciprocate in kind for my gesture in any way, I bailed. I think that was the right thing to do. Hey, it's not as if I expected the moon and six pence in return from her after I bailed, is it? My behavior helped me later on when it looked to me as if this former cashier was vying for some "free" attention in some weird way, and I could separate myself mentally and emotionally from her to the point where I could see where she and hers left off and I began. If that makes any sense.
