Way back when, during my naive blue pill days, while I was slaving away and selling my soul to the devil on daily basis in an office environment, I asked one of my Plain Jane female co-workers on a date. She flatly told me: "No. I don't do that.". Fair enough.

After that I learned I was apparently "too average" and not baller enough to garner any interest on her part. At the time she was eyeing one of the recently divorced senior partners. This guy was in his early 40s and was sleeping with different underwear models on monthly basis at the time, so of course a 6/10 secretary thought she had a chance with him. Silly me for assuming any woman, who isn't morbidly obese, deserves anything less than the top 1% of men.

A year later Plain Jane left the company after striking out on finding a rich cash cow and I never saw her again. Years passed and I quit my position to go my own way. A couple of months ago I learned from a mutual acquaintance she had a kid with some guy in the mean time and that currently she is a single mother. Yesterday was my birthday and guess who sent me a text to wish me happy b-day, despite never doing so previously? She also mentioned getting my number from our mutual friend after learning how well I'm doing. Now she wants to meet and "catch up" with me. Am I the luckiest guy or what!?

I'm not religious by any means, but shit like that makes me think that, if God exists, sometimes he can be a very funny guy. Definitely the best gift I had in a long time, assuring me the choices I've made in my life, up to this point at least, were the correct ones. GO YOU OWN WAY - can't stress it enough.
