It's never about presence or absence. But it's about the thoughts and if you tried.
3 weeks ago was the time I told you about this gathering, yet you still tell me that they asked you for lunch and changed into dinner and you are contemplating.
Shouldn't I get the priority, or whats more, you said you'll try after the quarrel. If you really tried then you would've said that you can't make it for the evening cause you had plan long ago.. And not ask me what should you do. Did you try?
Perhaps you really dislike my friends, but did you try?
The moment you asked me what should you do, come or go for the dinner, you are already making a choice that you shouldn't even be making. But on your standpoint, you should do whatever that will make you happier.

Priorities, I know where I stand. I'm not angry, I'm just really disappointed that I was being made a choice.

Kah.
