Today is just definitely the right day to reblog this post that I posted a long time ago and have now edited to be less revealing of my feeeeeeelings and granuloma's identity

Original title: How have we not exploded from our combined neuroses after 16 years of friendship?
Me:
i was like, i hardly know him, but his brother dicked around with one of my best friends all summer
and we're mad at him now.
S:
did you tell her he broke my heart
Me:
i really did.
S:
it feels good having your support, because he really did break my heart
i understand using someone, really, i do, but not someone who you have such a history with. don't you know that's wrong?
Me:
i fully agree
S:
so we learn a lot about acute vs. chronic conditions
and how your body has a diff reaction to like,the acute condition, and then chronic develops over time
andi have a chronic heartbreak
Me:
me too
hello, REDACTED PORTION IN WHICH I REVEALED THE IDENTITY OF MY GRANULOMA
S:
its not acute, acute is like, can't eat can't sleep think about it all the time
it's chronic.. it's all walled off somewhere, but it's still there
Me:
i know EXACTLY what you mean
S:
when your immune system walls off an infection you cant get rid of its called a granuloma
and i think somewhere my heart has a granuloma in it
Me:
i like that
they are bad for us, not nice to us
S:
yeah
i dont think i have any other granulomas
bc all my other infections were cleared with time
Me:
i def don't
you've had yours longer, but i think mine is more active in my life than yours is in your life, so it probably evens out
S:
i think he's is like having tuberculosis
because TB has a primary and secondary phase, and the secondary phase is what gets reactivated after a lot of years
so primary was high school, secondary is usually worse
Me:
you should call him consumption
that's much more fatal and glamorous sounding
Me:
i think i will put this conversation in my blog
