Real Deal(ership) Part II: Mistaking the Fix

1) Mistake: an error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, insufficient knowledge, etc.

2) Mistake:a misunderstanding or misconception.

3) Mistake:to regard or identify wrongly as something or someone else

4) Mistake: to understand, interpret, or evaluate wrongly; misunderstand; misinterpret

5) Mistake: (idiom) and make no mistake.... for certain, surely,


he made a 1)mistake... in acting on unstated attraction,
in stating the unstated attraction,
in being of the opinion that the attraction was unreciprocated
in judging the unstated attraction as harmless
in being careless of the consequences of stating previously unstated attraction
in being unknowledgeable of my feelings...

I made a 2) mistake
in misunderstanding the attraction as only my own
in misconceiving the attention I was giving
in misunderstanding and misconceiving his intentions in stating the attraction
then misunderstanding his purity and heart


I am continuing to 3) mistake
his purpose in my life as a lover
as he continues to 3) mistake
my purpose in his life as a blogger

We could both be 4) mistaken about purpose: friendship?

But make no 5) mistake... that I've learned that mistakes are completely irrelevant.

It's how you attempt to/achieve fixing them...

1) Responsible: having a capacity for moral decisions and therefore accountable; capable of rational thought or action

1)He honoured his commitments without disregard for my feelings.
1)I respected his decision with selflessness and well wishes.
1)We took the time to talk it out.
1) We are not our fathers.

I'm still in awe of what a good, good man he is.

Responsible by Sara Bareilles

Bound for the Blessing

You wouldn’t see it coming

I keep you guessing
Watch while you come undone.

You were an island that no one would dare to tread upon.
I came in like the wise men, and ask you to take my gift of love.

CHORUS
Hold me responsible. It’s all my fault.
I want you to hold me any way you can.
Hold me accountable. It’s all my fault.
I want you to hold me any way you can.

Careful confessions
Can’t scare you with my crime
I learned my lesson
Love you a little at a time.
