I was tempted to make a quip about people not liking streamlined answers they say is best ~

Without being verbose, she was the daughter of a woman I got to know through a mutual friend. I worked on her horse ranch and took her father out (the gal’s grandfather) because he was suffering from Parkinson’s and the daughter was not able to manage him. Her daughter lived on the property with her butt nugget drug dealing b/f of whom she had three kids by. Her mother and stepdad supported them and they did not help at all; in fact she often argued with her mom over dumb stuff usually for the benefit of the loser she was with. Her mom and stepdad tossed them out (with extreme prejudice) because she would not dump the dead weight (the but nugget), so she ended up staying with me, via the mutual friend. She eventually decided to leave because he had a crush on her and was always trying to talk her into bed. She ended up doing some piece work for me occasionally where I got to know her better; especially since at that point the dead weight was in jail. This led to that, and that led to an empty office and…..well….you know.

To any who thought that was too wordy, oh well.

Nope. I never hate anyone no matter how bad they turn.

Nope, but the opposite is very much the case.

If you’d ask ‘from disliking to loving’, then yes, very yes.

From hate never.

Nope. I take that word pretty seriously. When I hate someone, the only reason they are still alive is because I’m not willing to spend the rest of my life in prison in order to kill them. It is an extremely distasteful, damaging emotion, especially when you are unable to act upon it. I reserve this word, this feeling, for one man. He’s a prison guard alive and well and enjoying himself in Venezuela.

Indifferent to love? Very definitely…and hating to then being able to empathize for what they are going through and pray for them…yes, so that sort of love, I guess.

I have gone from loving/liking someone to loathing them and then to empathy for they are so in the duh zone, victims of their shitty personalities and dysfunctions, so, in a way yes, but literally, no. I strive to understand people, but that doesn’t mean I keep them around to torment me. haha
