A Good Feeling

Something happened yesterday that just kinda left a smile on my face because it meant that the idea my friends have about me, is the right one I've wanted them to have.

Yesterday, two of my neighbours who also happen to be my friends, were hanging out in my room and I had gone outside to go quickly do something. On my way back to my room, I could hear both of them saying something, but I could only make out the last few words that one of them had said before I opened the door.

When I did, I could tell from their facial expression that whatever they were saying was something juicy, so naturally, I wanted to know what it was, and had asked them about it. But instead of them telling me, one of them had asked the other one not to say anything because I was going to discourage him from doing it.

At first I didn't understand what he meant, but when they eventually told me what it was they were talking, it turned out it was indeed something I was going to discourage them from doing because it wasn't something right, but then I ended up not saying anything because there was no need to, they already knew my stance on the topic.

But yeah, the fact that they already knew, even before telling me what it was, that I was going to be against it made me proud of myself, because that only meant one thing, that I had done a good job of maintaining my morals and making sure everyone sees that.

That way, no one gets to call me (lie against me) or try to implicate in certain situations, because they already know the kind of person that I am and that no one would believe them when they say these things about me. It clearly just means I've done well for myself by giving myself a good name.

I might be exaggerating the entire situation (just let me have this moment 😂) but that is totally how I feel and I'm loving it.
