Squirrel-Beaver Day Redemption

A Touch of the Past

I was taught not to regret the decisions I have made and accept the results that occur later.  Yes there have been some bad outcomes with some decisions I have made but for this assignment I will be talking about my past relationship.  There was this one girl who I had met a few years back maybe before my Freshmen Year.  This acquaintance meeting blasted off when I tried to “befriend” her cousin but throughout the day she blew me off and I ended up giving up.  Anyways, back to the original story, it was exactly one year later that we met again and began getting to know each other.  It was a Memorial Day Tournament and my father was playing soccer that day for his team “The Missouri Thunders.”  Back when my dad was about my age, he loved playing soccer for high school and tournaments and so he formed a group of old Hmong guys and built a strong team.  I had to admit they were pretty legit because they took first place more often than the other four state Hmong players and their greatest rivals were from Kansas City.  So here we are watching my dad play and I leave my family to go around and “pimp.”  I came across this girl who really jumped my heart and like a man; I walked up and confronted her.  I spent the entire day with her and man did I really fall deep into infatuation.  Little did I know that she was the girl that I had met exactly a year ago at the same location.  Most people would think that it is love meant to be and unfortunately, I did too.  At the end of the day I had gotten her number because back then I didn’t have a phone to text or call so I used my dad’s cell.  Here comes the bad part.  One of my best friends who I really looked upon also had his eye on her AFTER I was talking with her.  He asked me if I didn’t mind them talking and as a nice guy, I said it was totally fine but in reality it’s not okay.  It took them about a week or two before they started dating.  I was devastated when I found out but I supported their relationship and stood by their side.  If any of you knew the song that came out that same year, I think it was called “Wedding Dress – Taeyang,” it would totally explain my situation.  When they argued overnight and she ended up crying, she came to me for help and comfort.  As a friend, I was always there for her and made her feel comfortable anytime she was around me.  I never told her how I felt but I figured my “best friend” might have told her.  They ended up separating from each other and I thought that this was my chance to finally shine with the girl I fell for but MAN was I wrong.  She ended up dating some Mexican from her school around Independence Day and got pregnant with his baby.  All my hopes and dreams of loved died right there and that was why I decided to obtain as many girls as I could so that I wouldn’t have to feel that pain ever again.  Then I met my current girlfriend Mailee Lor who I could trust and love with all my heart. 

If I had relived that day, I would have either changed two options:  I would have ignored her on that tournament day and moved onto a different girl or I would have told my so called “best friend” to back off because she was my idol woman.  Still, it would have been nice to know how her love would have felt because she was a very considerate woman to her lover.  Anyways, I am satisfied with what happened because it allowed me to meet the girl I have today.
