I know this was Past Matt’s doing. He thinks he’s so much better than me. Past Matt has all these hopes and aspirations, and I must look like a total disappointment. Past Matt is so naive, though, and he has this unrealistically sunny outlook on life. Me, I’m just tired all the time. I get home from a long day of work and I just want to relax and smoke a cigarette. I know that I made a promise with Past Matt and I’m sorry for letting him down. One day, he’ll understand. He’ll have to deal with nonstop rushes and rude customers all day long.

He will be just like me.

By that logic, though, I guess I was once like him too. It’s bizarre how much time can change a man. I’m sure if Past Matt and I were in a more casual relationship, we would get along just fine. We’re in each other’s business. I appreciate what he’s done for me, but now I just want to be left alone. Look, there were only about 2 cigarettes left in that pack. I would have smoked both of them tonight and totally quit after that. I promise. I won’t let my own future self down.
