am I being too analytical?

Matt read my last post. He made me realize something extremely significant that I'd like to point out:

matt: sorry
matt: i just didnt understand it
matt: the way it is written made me feel like crap
matt: i do not dig every day
matt: and i have been doing good
matt: and i didnt dig at all today
matt: there was no diggage at all
matt: not even alittle
me: i dont mean you were being annoying by digging, its just what we do
matt: i thought we were talking not digging

He proves to me that not only was I wrong, but I used horrible word choice. We do not go back in forth, in a manic cycle of digging and repressing. That is the pattern we once followed, but we don't do that anymore.


Now, we just talk.

So, when I asserted that Matt dug everyday (which is not what I meant), it was interpretted negatively.

And, just for clarification purposes, Matt is not trying to come to terms with my mistakes, as he has already come to terms with them. I, on the other hand, need some serious work in learning to live with past mistakes, which have been dutifully and rightfully unearthed by the only person who cares enough about me to point out my glaring faults.

being overanalytical isn't always a bad thing. and on another note, i love the way you write- it's like even when you're talking normally it's poetic.
