I Wish I Were a Better Person

But lately I'm obsessed with the fantasy that somehow a certain ex of mine from (oy) twenty years ago (feel free to say get over it) who made sure to remind me on a regular basis how much smarter he was than me (sealing my already flourishing self-doubt, brain-cell wise), finds copies of my critically acclaimed books (just give me this, if you knew this guy, you'd indulge me more than a moment to boast), hears where I'm teaching, and kicks himself in the ass for ever being such a cock.

Can somebody else please admit they have fantasies like this so I don't punish myself for the rest of the day?

Yeah, I think I'd actually have to be successful for that to happen.

Jackie, you are successful! You have a great life and a great family! That's all that matters!

Yes, but also in the fantasy, I run into the guy, in person, and I've lost twenty pounds and am dressed in something very stylish and expensive involving high heels and elbow length gloves. The ONLY way to stick it to as ex is to look hot when you're not with them anymore.

Unrelated to your post, but I DID kick myself in the ass for being a cock with poor english skills.
