Mistakes

“Which among us cannot say that some of our greatest learnings have come from mistakes we’ve made? A mistake can teach us something we never forget; it spotlights an area for growth. Can you let yourself experience the perfection of your imperfection? Nurturing yourself by accepting you will fail at times doesn’t mean you don’t try to avoid failures. But when they come you refuse self-judgement. You let past mistakes be just that—past. Your attitude is that yesterday ended last night. You recognize that there is a statute of limitations on past errors and refuse to wallow in self-punishment year after year.”

Loving you through the phone

Loving you through the phone.

The hardest part is always wanting to be with each other. But the only thing that makes it easier, is using every alternative method there is to be together. Phone, webcamming, etc. Settling for what we have at the moment pays off in the end though.

It’s a test. Seeing how much we really want to be together. Whether we want to enough, to be patient and deal with all the bullshit that happens before the next time we see each other, or finding out that it was all just a waste of time and effort. I don’t want it to be a waste of time. I don’t think you do either.

But until then, I’ll be happy with what we can have right now. Because a little bit of something is better than a whole lot of nothing. And a little bit of something means a whole lot of everything if it’s with you.
