Life is not fair
Okay, true. But at the same time, it angers me beyond understanding that I work so hard for something and then that chapter of my life closes and I think, "Hm, maybe a little less effort and time and I still could've pulled that off as a success." There are other parts of my life, however, that I think I owe more devotion to. Really, I just owe myself more attention and devotion.
