Moving and becoming a better person

I suppose moving is going okay. I've been packing, all by myself, for the last week. But I think I'm almost done. We sign the lease on friday :) I've never gotten my own place before, I've always just moved in after everything was already set up. But today, I got the electricity situation resolved. I was freaking out when I thought we'd have to pay $300 for a deposit, but I found Reliant and their $80 non-refundable deposit. Works for me. Now I just have to figure out how to get the water put in our name. And get the cable/internet switched over. Moving is so expensive!

But on a positive note, I'm really proud of myself for something I did a couple nights ago. I had heard some really nasty things about someone awhile back. This, of course, soured my opinion of them. This person is someone my husband tattoos frequently. I had sent this person a message over facebook telling them what a shitty person they were and all these other bad things I thought about her. So when I would pull up to the tattoo shop and her car was there, I would get so mad.

Well, the other night she was there, so I backed out and left... pissed off. I came home and really thought about it... What had this person actually done wrong? Nothing. She never wronged me in any way. She had never said anything bad about me. She had never made a pass at my husband, so why did I hate her? I never really knew. So I decided, I need to be a better person. You only live once, right? Do I want to spend my one life hating people? I don't, really. So I did the adult thing, I called her and told her how sorry I was for saying such terrible things. I really thought she'd let me have it, she would've had the right to. But no, she completely understood. She said she was sorry for anything she said about me, which was nothing really. She even said to save her number and we could go get lunch sometime.

It feels so good to get that hate out of my heart. I feel like a better person now.
