yesterday morning at 7AM i got a text from Rex-Mex.

RM: i know this might seem random. i now know what it must have felt like when i checked out. i'm so sorry. i suck.

huh? i was kinda stunned. . . if i still cared- it would have been too little too late. but seeing that i had long since moved on- i was annoyed by the fact that it raised my curiosity and questions- what was Rex-Mex going through that caused him to send that text? why does he feel compelled to apologize?

V: yes that is a bit random. it was a long time ago but i appreciate and accept your apology. hope you are well.

RM: sorry it's been a crazy 24 hours.

V: are you ok? let me know if you need to talk.

RM: that is sweet and considerate and consistent with the great person you are. but i don't want to bother.

then why text me at all? if you know that i'm a caring person you know that i'll want to help if i feel that you are going through hardship. so stop being so selfish and unloading your guilt on me!!! ARG!
