It was Stephen Covey who said that while we can’t control what happens to us, we can control what we do about it. Therefore, we should focus on things we CAN control.
Quite recently, a shocking turn of events turned my exclusively dating status into single and gotta-get-some-soon status in one fell swoop. To say I wasn’t happy would be an understatement. Oh yeah. I felt like some beat up superhero with too much pride not to just fall down and fall out.
I did all I could to keep it running. And when I couldn’t, I accepted it and tried my best to be just a friend for said exclusively datee. When that didn’t work either, I felt like I hit a wall.
But when THAT hit me, something else did. I realized that I have done all I could to the point that I regret pretty much nothing. There was no bad blood or hostility at all - just a matter of facing the music. I did my part and perhaps even more. From now on it is up to the heavens to decide our fates.
Suffice to say, I’m happily single now. Well, not as happy when I was in lala land to be honest, but happy enough to appreciate my time from now on - one day at a time.
On this first day, I got Tumblr. :D
