" If you find a girl that is open-minded about music, hold onto her—they are as rare as an arctic fox." Found her and held on to her. Changed my life completely.
I absolutely loved your rant about music and women! Thanks for your writing as ever Jared.
The negative Google Reviews on The Coop are both pointed and plentiful. I don’t think you’re the first person to experience the downside of the owner.
Whenever something like this happens to me, I try to briefly reflect on what I might have done wrong or failed to see in advance. I try to be brutally honest, think about how to handle it differently in the future, and if the situation calls for it, apologize (a real apology, not the bullshit kind). Then I move on. If someone wants to hold a grudge after that, it’s their problem and IDGAF.
It took me a long time to develop this approach to life, but I’m much happier now that I’ve adopted it.
This post really reminded me of the movie, "Young Man with a Horn". At then end when they ask him about the record, his line, "they only buy the record to learn the lyrics" is spot on with your post. I think some of us in life are chasing an ideal but most people are playing a relative game and trying to impress their friends.
