Thanks, but.

We all make mistakes. Sometimes we don't know we're going to make them. Somtimes, we go into them with our eyes open. Sometimes we play with fire to see how past flames have hardened and tempered us. Sometimes we just want to see if getting burned does, in fact, still hurt.

All I ask is the acknowledgement that I'm not an imbecile. I'm an adult woman with a brain and a heart and a soul. What I choose to do with this mortal coil is, in the end, my own business. Just because someone gives me advice doesn't mean I am required to follow it. Nor will insulting me because I choose not to do so make me any more likely to follow those suggestions. Chances are also good I'll have figured out already that no one wants to hear about it.

If I choose to explore certain avenues, I'm not asking anyone to come with me or hold my hand. If I try to revisit a problem, maybe I'm trying to figure out if I can solve it. And that's something I have to do not only for myself, but by myself.

I'll live. I may cry, but I'll survive.

Coming from you, my sweet, that's high praise, indeed. Thank you. I wish the results had been different, but such is life.

And you're sexy, too-- for a muppet.
