I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 153: Breaking Up is Hard to Do...Or is It???
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 7 months. As time went on, I realized more and more that we had different values and priorities and interests.
I could have failed in the sense that I could feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life. But I don't feel that way. I know that I did the right thing.

It's nice to see - every now and then - how people can decide to break up without finding fault with one another. Sometimes things don't work out because of incompatibilities and the like, and there is no reason to cast blame.
ReplyDeleteI admire your clarity about this.
I did not read this before seeing you last night or I would have been supportive in person - sorry about that!
