#7: Selfish moment

Sharing is sooooo kindergarten.

I have lived a very compartmentalized life and it's only now that I am realizing there is nothing wrong with that. It's okay to keep some things for yourself. It's okay to not invite everybody into your happy place and you don't need to feel like all your circles need to be joined. The happiest I have ever been in my life has been at times when I owned the best kept secrets and all there was were stories to tell. Subway stations and parking lots and .... ahem.... threesomes.... and weekend disappearing acts and all kinds of shit that gave me life and were exclusively mine. In retrospect, almost every attempt I have made to mesh people and situations have gone unbelievably BAD. Introducing guys I had been dating (for too short a time) to my friends, introducing one set of friends to another set of friends.... it's never really.... meshed like the vision I had for it to and for the most part, it's never really worked when my friends have tried to do it either. Shoulda been a note all those times, look, it's okay to keep some things for yourself. Fill your life with all kinds of wonderful and special things and you know what? A little mystery is good for the soul.

It's nobody else's business.
