i am 22 years old. i work at outback steakhouse in the infamous "villages," where i sell my soul regularly to retired senior citizens in the area for a good tip. i've written enough of these mini life stories to know that the basics, to you, are probably all that matter. nice to meet you.
yesterday was just one of those days. i had to get out of the house and stay out of the house. i left my house at 4pm and returned at 6am. i think i accomplished what i was going for.

he's just not that into you.
spoiler alert. there's a scene in the movie where one of the characters cheats on his wife. he confesses this almost right after it happens. meanwhile, him and his wife are remodeling their house and she finds a pack of cigarettes hidden outside. she confronts him a couple times about it and he denies it. later in the movie a pack of cigarette falls out of a pair of his pants while she's cleaning up. she divorces him.
lesson to be learned: don't lie. she took him back after he fessed up to cheating when he didn't have to and he just had to lie about something like cigarettes. maybe she was so hurt by being cheated on that she couldn't take any more. or maybe, just maybe, trust and honesty are that important. nobody wants to be betrayed, much less feel like it's never going to end.
the fact that she divorced him made me so happy.
