i guess i get to thinking of those epic failure clips... Olympic athletes or whatever... pole vault... the leap... and it is beautiful. body stretched right out... nearly nearly nearly... no. those disappointment shots. the failures.
and there is this thing about 'better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all'. and there is beauty. in the aspiration. in the attempt. something... about someone having the courage to give it their all and then fail. because it is a really f*ck*ng hard thing to do. mostly people (mostly me) is too afraid of failure to give myself permission even to try...
and disappointment hurts.
and it can be terrifying to face limits sometimes, i think. the true limits of 'i can't'. 'i did my best and i can't'.
but i guess i focus on the 'tried'. i don't know...
with respect to continuing to see him... i would think... precisely because of the current circumstances. do you really want things to end like this?
it is hard, though. i don't know. now i'm thinking about my dad. died. useless sack of sh*t. just curled up and died, basically. useless.
people really are abandoning a-holes.
