The Maggot

And so it is, the fella that was once a stepping stone, has finally earned himself a real nick name.

THE MAGGOT

We'd already given out the name of "Cockroach" to someone, what was left? I'm sure there is more.

Though like the stepping stones, some things have been learned.  Surprising things, even.

Said friend, states how she likes a "tight ass."  It's all about the butt for her.

Frankly I don't give that part of the human body a lot of thought, unless of course it is fat and unattractive.

I think she, unknowingly, to her, has moved "up" in her world.

Because with the Maggot, 1) we never really saw his butt.  The only time his butt was presented in public, was when he was working as a waiter; the rest of the time,  2) His butt was covered up by "Painter" pants.  Painter pants are rarely tight.  3) That part of his physique was also covered up by a too-large t-shirt that he always wore loose.  It was never tucked in.  So frankly, we never saw his butt.

His personality:  total ass.

So the next time my friend says, "yes, but I am a 'tight ass' person," I am going to point out - Maggot's ass was never a factor when you fell for him, so the ass is not what you need to worry about.  You need to focus on their personality.

Stepping Stones

It is so much easier to look from the outside in, than it is to look from the inside out.

To be able to watch your friend being visually de-clothed by the guy next to her and cringe, want to grab her and run, is easier than being the girl being looked at.  It's also easier to say, "don't give your name out" to your friend, than being the person in that situation and when asked "what is your name?"  you tell them.

And even though your friend knows that you think the guy is manipulative, that he will hurt her, she sometimes simply has to go through the whole "relationship" - whatever that may consist of - in order to move past that stone.

Yep, some "relationships" are just stepping stones to who we are meant to be; and who we are meant to be with - whether that be with someone worthy of a relationship, or by ourselves.
