Thus far, my new attitude toward life (my desire to leave a legacy of feeling, as opposed to goods, genetic material, or any such insubstantials) is doing well for me thus far. Finding a significant other is no longer the be-all end-all for me now. It's very liberating. Of course, I'm still keeping up with my actual responsibilities, which never really seem to end of late. There's always something to have to do, and it's very much like Through the Looking-Glass where I have to keep working to keep things up.
My only real regret is that I'm not keeping up with some of my old friends as much as I'd like to, but maybe that's for the better. They all have their own relationships and conflicts, just as I have mine. Also, we're no longer tied together by old BHS and busyness abounds. I guess a big part of my life philosophy is moving on, even as I respect and acknowledge the feelings I have from them. After all, they still have the feelings I share with them as often as I can. I'm just hoping they recongnize it. Well, it's time to run again.
Run toward the future and match the pace of the present, or else be swept into the past.
