Telling On Myself

I would have told my MMO guildmates that I broken up with my girlfriend had any of them ever asked, but they didn't.

I told my actual IRL friends that we had broken up because both of us agreed that the vibes were gone.

I told my mother about the break up in slightly vague turns so that she'd jump to the wrong conclusion (as per usual) and blame her for everything.

I told her that I just couldn't handle being in a relationship with anyone right now, when I dumped her.

I told myself this was a kindness. Repeatedly.
