Yesterday I was able to make two enemies into buddies! Aka, I was arguing with these two individuals on the internet but thru being understanding and inserting jokes at the right time I was able to deescalate the situation and put us on friendlier terms. I was also willing to listen with what they had to say and sympathize with their original reasons for acting the way they did. I know,it's a silly "nothing burger" to most of you reading this but for me it felt good to take a potentially negative situation and turn it into something positive. I walked away realizing both these individuals were good people and I simply feel very fortunate we were able to connect despite our rocky beginnings.

Honestly I don't put much stock into people arguing or trolling on the internet. We all fall into it once in awhile and compared to all the truly atrocious shit going on in the world it is not a serious crime or something to be ashamed of for all of eternity. I find it odd certain folks truly take it "so far" as to dox a person who simply sent them a mean tweet or spicy meme. One thing I try to do is keep my rivalries with people "online". As angry as they make me, deep down I do not want them hurt,to lose their jobs,or die because I thought I'd 1up them by getting them "swatted". (This is where you call the police and report a "false crime" the person you are talking about actually did not do.)

Regardless,blessed is Apustaja, our saintly frog patron of making friends and enjoying the little things in life. May we all be "frens" after the next reality reset!
