Wisdom of the Homeless #16 - Get Over It

"Nah man, she ghosted you. Don't fuck with that shit bro."

"Ghosted me? What does that mean?"

"Nah, nah man, you know. Disappeared on your ass."

"Yeah okay... "

"Ok, so what you say - at first everything goin good right? Yeah?"

"Yeah... "

"She get you in a a little close right?  Then you set a date... "

"Yeah... "

"Then right before the date she cancel,  and you ain't hear from her since, that right? "

"That's exactly right. "

"See, she ghosted your ass, cause she a ghost. If she didn't like you she just wouldn't set a date - so she playin. She a ghost."

"Ok...  So... "

"Man, you stupid. You don't fuck with that shit bro! Ok? You and me don't mind a little bit of a chase as long as catching is involved - but a ghost, they don't see it like that. Ghost? It's all about chase. No catchin."

"Ghost no catch."

"That's right! Ghost no catch. You getting it my man. Sometimes they make a mistake, and you get a little too close, and then they gone for days. And that's how you know they a ghost."

"Huh."

"So just stay way from that shit. Times in life all you have is your dignity, and if you hand that shit off to a ghost it won't be there when you need it."

"Well, it's not like she's a bad person or anything."

"Nah man, she not - her feet is cold. You want warm feet."

"Warm feet. Makes sense to me."

"See bro, it's like playing tag - if one person always 'it' - by the end they just tired and pissed off. Two gotta share that shit." Finger stab. "You got a cigarette? I'll pay you a quarter for one..."
