write this down in your diary you abuse

[therealmalcolm]

Somehow I continually manage to set myself up for terrible disappointment. I'd say one of my major character flaws is my inability to give up--I don't know when to quit. That said, I can't let go of this false hope. Maybe the only way for me to be happy is to come to terms with the idea that I won't.

I would not consider the 'inability to give up' a character flaw, but that's just another perception.. However, beating oneself up won't do and could be considered as such. (There are many theories, philosophies, and other kinds of jargon that dance around the idea of happiness as something that can and must be obtained. Okay, if that, then.. "What is it?" and "How?" and then the ever-present "Why not?" when it seems to be out of grasp. Maybe the only way to reach such a thing at all IS to do as you wrote - not exactly "give up" but relax. Find something to help you balance and perhaps you will find it has been there all along. Blah blah blah..) Reguardless, if you want to share - well, you know the rest.
