we measure our own success on our own perceptions, i think, of what we think we should be. most people, i think, in some way perceive themselves as losers in some fashion, and i know that i do. perhaps we should just accept that we are going to do well at some things, and fail horribly at others, and just accept the wisdom that comes from our failures (or some such hallmarky shit...)
but who am i kidding? i'm going to africa, and depressed about the fact that i can't hold a relationship together longer than a semester. i have the romantic attention span of a fifteen year old. i fall for guys that i can't have. i'm putting far too much emphasis on what i think i should be, obviously, rather than what i am.
and obviously, in the romantic department you are far more successful than i am. so don't feel too bad, even though i know stuff is getting you down.
