i could

but it's a slippery slope, that.
literally changing someone. changing their mind, editing out the unpalatable bits

i've been tempted. recently, even, with someone who hurt someone i loved. the line's fuzzier than it used to be. like maybe six months ago you could've said that to me and i'd say i would never do something like that. i can't say that now

but i think, maybe. i start doing that, then one day there's someone trying to work out how to take me down. it's too easy to become the bad guy. i don't want that.
