I ran into my ex girlfriend again in

My first serious girlfriend, without getting too much into details, as soon as she started college, within a few months cheated on me, and we split.  It was significant, but thats neither here nor there, anyway, she had gotten a job at a movie theater when we were first dating, and had apparently stayed working there for years, because several girlfriends later, as I was recently single and depressed and very very drunk, my friends dragged me to see "pacific rim", and I went to buy snacks or a drink or something, and who was there but my ex.  And she was also close to the end of her shift that night, because when it was close to showtime, and we went back that way, she was in the "cafe" of the theater or whatever with some goober, and we both saw each other and both knew that we saw each other again, after the awkward snack bar incident.  ...But she definitely made a bigger deal of being all affectionate to her dude because she saw me, and if I hadn't just gotten out of a 3 year relationship that ended with both of us just falling out of love, I wouldn't have given a shit.  But here was this girl who when I was with her, there was a great deal of things that happened.  And I was drunk, sad, single and alone, but dragged to see this movie... I can't help but think that she was rubbing it in, and at the time I was really fucking irritated by it, but I realize now that what (literally years before this) would be my first date with the girl who I had just ended the relationship referenced before, we saw a movie at that same theater and had bought tickets from my ex.  And the more recent ex was much more attractive, not that the first was ugly, but still... So I feel like I remember these stories now, and have to wonder if there was any ...intention behind the first ex's "oh im at the movies and so happy with some doofy dude, oh look its my first bf over there and he smells like he bathed in alcohol for two days what a coincidence"

This incoherent garble of symbols resembling english words might sound like the bitter ramblings of a drunken skunk, but what started as an actually bitter ramble turned into an introspective, because things that shouldn't have mattered when they bothered me, had explanations

Also, I had a way better relationship with the more recent ex, both romantically and physically, so while drunk-me at the time was pretty fucking jimmy-rustled, at least I got to see pacific rim and then drink more and blackout

and then like 5 years later have an epiphany about it

...huh.

 

There is a small chance that i might have been consuming alcoholic beverages this evening, but this is an actually legitimate and truly positive epiphany.

So, kids, when you're older and depressed, binge drink and go to the movie theater, and half a decade later, you might learn something
