In High School I had a girlfriend. Jeannie. She was crying one day. I thought it was something I did. I asked her, "What did I do?" She set me straight. "What makes you think that everything is about you?". That was good advice. To this day I know full well that people are allowed to have opinions, attitudes and actions that are independent of me.
In fact, the insignificance I carry with most people is pretty important to remember.
Only in High School did I think the world revolved around me.
I grew up. Thanks to her for setting me straight.
