I have been talking to Med a great deal more than I ever have as of late. Its been pleasant.
She's self aware about how her obsession has fucked up her life over the last decade but she's also completely incapable of framing anything outside of the context that is Chapo. No matter what topic is being discussed Chapo is quickly brought up and related to the topic.
She's smart and obviously an incredibly determined human being.
I used to do that with Med. I have similar findings. She does know better but keeps letting herself down. Sympathy would most likely encourage her to keep failing herself.
At this point I have nothing to do but continue to state the obvious while generally being supportive about her job search.
Why?
I just feel like doing that right now.
