To balance out the brilliantly good:

It has been my thought for some time that there is balance lacking my world. This has been the case for far too long, perhaps too long to ever be righted in my head. But that doesn’t mean I don’t try.

How do you repay amazing friendship after too many years of neglect and self-important, egocentric behavior?

Having been on the opposite side of this situation, my initial devil’s advocate reaction is that you don’t, because for all the thought and sometimes bitter joking, it’s unimportant in the end. But that’s also my often-uncommon thinking, not at all based on popular study.

Something that must be considered more carefully in the coming days.
