I don&#8217;t want this to be a depressing post but I sometimes get these waves of obsession where I can&#8217;t stop thinking of an old friend I used to hang out with. The last few times we hung out I don&#8217;t think it went so well or whatever. He doesn&#8217;t talk to me and I don&#8217;t talk to him. He&#8217;s got other friends and so do I. So many things I just want to say to him to kind of get it off my chest so to speak but I know if I do he&#8217;d probably not care. I just need to get over it. He doesn&#8217;t want to hang out or anything, he doesn&#8217;t invite me anywhere though I reach out to him sometimes. I guess I just want him to miss me like I miss him sometimes. I want him to know that I am enjoying my life as I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s enjoying his. However I just miss him and wish things went differently so I could be a part of his life. Just part of me wants to say this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s the whole list from the previous post as well: Be more soft spoken, tone it down a bit and watch what I say (done, slipping but still that most of the time) Have more parties\/go to more parties (I&#8217;m pretty social, need to host more parties though) Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t feel the need to say how [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anonymous","category-goals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=241"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":244,"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241\/revisions\/244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.longlivethemonkey.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
