It took time, patience, determination and an unquenchable thirst to triumph against my enemies and myself...but I finally did it...I returned to the dine-in Pizza Hut in Sylmar, CA. After years of swearing off this specific establishment for not having their classic red cups from the 90s, I came to grips with a truth that I didn’t want to accept: times change. Was I unrealistic for expecting them to not update their interior decor for decades? Perhaps. But after apologizing to the current store manager for my outburst in 2018, it lead me to this moment. The present moment. Where I can finally let go of the resentment I held onto for so long. Sometimes you have to realize that you are not the hero or the villain, you just are. You are here. You are now.
