Happy Birthday To Me - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

on this semi-tedious occasion I'd like to apologize for acting like a prick lo these many years
I guess I was so self-involved in being oblivious to the world that it became obvious what a dick I was
however, the older I get and the more time I spend alone I've discovered what a schmuck I've been
there are so many people and too little time in which I can try to atone for my asinine ways
I'm sorry for my stubbornness and inability to enunciate and communicate
I'm sorry about jumping to conclusions and my inability to listen
I regret my outbursts of anger when I should just let things go
Anne Lamott once said "it's better to be kind than right"
it took too long but now I understand what it means
that's how I will try to live the rest of my days
