To Move On
There comes a time when it’s no longer healthy or feasible to wait for your vision of a scenario to actually correlate to the reality of the current scenario. Sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes the answer is no. Acceptance of the negative, in my experience, has proven to always be more difficult - particularly when so much of my well-being hinges on the promise of the affirmative. In the meantime, both parties have needs; it is prudent to expect that my needs will always be clearer to me.
It is frightening how applicable this notion is to so many aspects of my life right now. It makes so many things seem so clear.
