The same thing that make people love you, will make them hate you.

I was in the mall yesterday and saw this girl I used to be involved with eons ago. She was looking like a million bucks. No lie…..serious no lie. She was talking about how she was trying to get her thing going in the world of journalism. We I was asking her whether or not she checked out resources available to young writers, has she thought about relocated to an area of the country where there is more opportunity for journalist, has she thought about grad school at a top notch university, and etc. She stopped me abruptly and said something to this accord, “Travis the same thing that made me love you, made me hate you at times. You are such a driver, you have fire, you push the limits, and you say what is on your mind. But, I never truly felt like I was in a comfortable place with you.” I was shocked. I apologized and we exchanged numbers.....not to hook up again, but to stay in touch. Then last night, I say this Nike commercial featuring Kobe Bryant that had the same premise as the feedback my long lost friend gave me. Food for thought I guess.
