Ouch. It's called life and the school of hard knocks. It sounds like you've had your share of grief over the last year. I can empathize. I've been there a time or two. Not the same situations, just the amount of knocking going on.
The only thing you can do is sit back and go with the flow, cause all the anger, nor anything else is gonna change it. It's a done deal. But you can learn from it and make double damn sure you don't do it again, and that you try to prevent it from happening to someone close to you again!
Once you make up your mind about that. Leave it behind. We're all human here, and we're allowed to make mistakes. So long as we don't keep making the same ones over and over.
I'm tired so I hope that came out making sense, and not something weird.
I'm not actually angry. I was being a bit sarcastic last night, but not angry. I now have three nieces and a nephew on the way...and no one will make me babysit. (Call infants "small demonic spawn" once
( ... )
I know exactly what you mean, when I was in my early twenties it semed like everyone was so shallow. But I had been making it on my own since I was sixteen. I learned a lot of lessons the hard way in those years.
I still learn a few the hard way*grins*
I thought I'd reply cause you seemed a little down.*Shrugs* I just wanted to help you feel a little better:)
You actually did help. Everyone I know is...Most people are settling, and I hate to see it. I know that I'm going to end up entangled in my family/friends' problems the second I get home (heck, I've been thousands of miles away all summer and I've still fielded panicked phone calls.) and...That just drags me down because I would love to be as naive as the people here. But that's never going to happen. Especially since I tend to learn my lessons the hard way and the kids at Harvard have been fed with a silver spoon all their life.
The babies were all born a couple of weeks ago and I started a countdown to the due dates beforehand. No one could understand why I knew so many pregnant people.
But I'm all better. Thanks for listening; it really helped. Well, reading. But you get the point.
