Perspective

I really enjoy Halloween, and i know that you don't really put the same value on it. When I look forward to it for months, you are okay with treating it like a small affair. Store bough costumes are good enough for you, but I make mine. I put so much energy and time into my experience. You already had plans for this weekend, and then you got upset when I invited you to mine. You said that I don't pay attention, and got upset that I forgot you had made plans this weekend. You knew that Joseph was out of the country. You know that the weekend before Halloween is the big one. But you still planned a trip for the whole weekend. Then you got upset at me for inviting you along, insinuating that I am clumsy for doing so, claiming that I don't take you preferences into account. I told you that it was fine, I will either go alone or find someone else. You made me feel bad for feeling alone.

And now, after asking you to help me take photos of my costume, you are rescinding your submission for shooting during the golden hour because you want to go to the gym. Yes, it'll be cloudy, but I can't shake the feeling that you are using that as a way to excuse yourself during those hours. Sure, we could just do it another time, but it doesn't make much sense to take photos of a Halloween costume in November.

You like Halloween more than I do, and that is fine. We both have our own hobbies. I like going to the gym, it's healthy, and I have friends there. They make me feel good. I really don't like Halloween, but I go along with it cause you like it. Your asking a lot of me. We should have done this earlier. We couldn't have done it today, though, I had to go to the gym. And the last day you were off was Tuesday, and I made plans cause I thought you were working. Plus, you didn't even tell me that you wanted pictures. Maybe we could have planned it better together? I know it's important to you, but it'll be cloudy tomorrow before sunset anyway.
