Flashback

I ran into the former Residential Assistant of my freshman residence halls today while I was out running errands with my partner in our neighborhood. I haven’t seen Dan in years and I found out he lives only two blocks away.

We got along well enough back in college because we had good conversations and I respected his artistic efforts but I vividly remember him randomly telling me back then that I wasn’t his type because I was a bit too chubby for him.

Are there ever moments where you would have said, “HA! It’s only your loss!” but then you don’t because you were never interested in them in the first place so you don’t even care enough to waste your breathe? Yeah. It’s like that.

Nice seeing you. Run along now…
