My mood picked up over the weekend, which was nice. Yesterday and
today were too hectic at work for the head squirrels to start their
work, but I was reminded just now by a quote used in a comment on how
much of an arsehole Mitt Romney is.
"You may not remember what a person said to you, you may not remember
what a person did to you, but you will never forget how a person made
you feel!" - Maya Angelou.
Several years ago, my
then-boyfriend said something to me while I was with him and my one uni
friend who stayed around after uni. I cannot for the life of me
remember what he said, but I felt crushed afterwards. I was so knocked
off centre that I could barely remember the route to walk home!
A
few years after that, while on holiday with my current boyfriend and
the same uni friend, she said something that had a similar effect - in
this case, I lost my appetite. I did everything that I could to
minimise the time spent with her over the next couple of days.
I
think that if it happens again, I will try to make a note of what has
been said, to see if I can analyse it later and work out if it's still
hurtful.
