A Lesson I learned From Jeannie

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.
