A Morning Editorial

Please excuse the lack of structure, I'm posting from the phone.

For several weeks now, I've been beating myself up over another failed relationship.

This morning I came to the realization that though I made more than a few mistakes, I gave the best I had to offer.

It is NOT my fault that I gave more than I got in return. It is NOT my fault things didn't turn out the way I expected.

It IS my fault, however, that I accepted some things in the very beginning, against my better judgement. I tried to work with the hand I chose to keep and in the end, it just wasn't worth my time or effort to keep playing.

I gambled. I lost a bit, I won a bit, just like at a casino. Instead of "pocketing" my winnings, I kept gambling and at the end of the day I went home with nothing.

The how's and why's I losty will probably never be answered to my satisfaction, but now I'm ok with that.

I have not and will not cry over my loss. I am satisfied that a real jackpot is in my future and I look forward to winning.

  8. *faints at the sight of texasshoney* thanks everyone! I have to either write about something or cry about it so I can get past it. All bullshit aside I do miss Rob's friendship as much as I try to deny it. * Le sigh*

  9. I hope that after you take some healing time, you and Rob will be able to be friends again. Despite the relationship not working, your friendship always been strong. And anyone who has truly loved someone knows love never dies it just gets buried under a lot of feelings, memories and emotions or it evolves into something it was more meant to be. I love you both dearly and I wish you the best in life and love whether it be together or in separate relationships. <3 Paula
