LJ Idol Week 12: Failure

Jan 31, 2020 22:05

Failure? Failure is sitting here on a cloud-shrouded-moon night with this bottle of sweet cheap port wine, eating a grocery store picnic with numb fingers and talking to you. Yeah, we’re far from the city. Far from home and in a beautiful place. But what are we even doing? It’ll likely be too wet to climb tomorrow, even if I can find a partner. ( Read more... )

I can so relate to all of this. Well, most of this, anyway. SOooo there right now.

Thank you! I mean, it kinda sucks for this to be relatable, I guess, but I’m glad you related.

I liked this introspective piece. Like you, I've gone through a wide range of emotions in just the first five or so weeks of this year.

Thank you. It really has been a roller-coaster year already.

Just getting theirs and watching the rest burn.
That's sure how it feels. It reminds me of the Reagan era, but worse. :(

An all-too-familiar struggle we share. I second-guess myself on this one regularly.

I hope you get a chance to actually meet up with that friend again someday soon...

Thank you kindly! If there is one thing that has really surprised me consistently in this fourth decade that I’ve only just begun, it is that I’m realizing that friendships and maintaining them are so much more important to happiness than I would have imagined before. I lost touch with way too many people in my 20s. But there’s always the chance we’ll cross paths again.
