I Wouldn't

I think that some people wonder if I will say something about them.
1) The things they told me in confidence, I wouldn't tell anyone.
2) Even if they think I will.

Did Mirror Smasher tell me things in confidence? Yeah?
Did I tell him some things, yeah?

BECAUSE HE TRUSTED ME?
AND I TRUSTED HIM?

WITH THOSE THINGS? YES?

AND EVEN IF HE USED THOSE THINGS AGAINST ME.
DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO OR WANT TO DO THAT SH*T TO HIM.

SURE, I CAN STILL BE "LOYAL" ABOUT THAT.

LIKE HE COULD HAVE BEEN.

Just because we aren't "friends" anymore
DOES MEAN I NEED TO USE ANY OF THAT
AGAINST HIM.

Not like I'm even using his real name on here, either, right?

He knows who he is.
That's good enough for me.

I can talk about FAIRNESS.
WHILE TRYING MY BEST TO BE FAIR.

Like the person who ended their friendship with me recently, 
he told me some things, sure, 
but only because he was comfortable enough to tell me.

And THOSE THINGS NEVER MATTERED TO ME.
So they shouldn't matter to anyone else.

The things that I do bring up are for a reason.
I don't have to bring up things for no reason.

And thinking I will doesn't mean I have to or want to.

Even when some people, not all people, try to alter
something about me....

Doesn't mean I have to or want to do that to them.
Or anything to them.

THEIR BUSINESS IS STILL THEIR BUSINESS.
EVEN AFTER OUR FRIENDSHIP IS OVER.

OUR FRIENDSHIP BEING OVER....
JUST MEANS THAT OUR FRIENDSHIP IS OVER.

THAT IS ALL THAT IT MEANS.

If they think it means something other than that, 
or that I think that it does, no.

Some of the things I write about....
Are just to explain why some things upset me and why.

I get that people talk... 
But I could just explain why our friendship ended.

Because there were reasons for that happening. 

I can say how I took that.
I can say a few things about it here and there...
From my own side... 

But I don't really see any point in going beyond that.

I don't have to "ruin" people.
Or try to. 

EVEN PEOPLE WHO TRY TO GASLIGHT ME.

INSTEAD OF JUST BEING HONEST.
LIKE THEY COULD BE.

The ones who were honest with me, 
I APPRECIATE THAT. I RESPECT THAT.

EVEN AFTER OUR FRIENDSHIP ENDS.

THAT'S MATURITY.

But I guess most people don't know me very well...
WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW...
THAT I LEAVE THINGS ALONE.

EVEN AFTER OUR FRIENDSHIP ENDS.
BECAUSE I CAN.
AND I CHOOSE TO.

Sometimes I vent about something specific.
Mostly because I'm processing it.

And because of other reasons.
Maybe if I put it in a specific way....
Maybe it might be possible to identify why.

That's about it.

I don't use their names.
Nobody outside my head knows who I'm referring to.
Not that it matters exactly.
That's only context anyway.

NOT THE FOCUS.

But anyway... 

As for politics....
There are many people in this country
WHO DON'T REALIZE MANY THINGS
THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING AND NOT DOING.
THEY WANT TO LOOK ELSEWHERE.
LIKE AT THE OPPOSITION.
AT THE GLOBAL STAGE.
ANYWHERE OTHER THAN....

WHO????? GUESS!

AND WHY LISTEN TO ME ABOUT IT?
OR ABOUT ANYTHING?

It's pretty much cognitive dissonance. 
I have FAMILY who are SO AGAINST THE OPPOSITION....
THAT THEY ARE FOR THE PARTY
THAT ISN'T FOR... US.
