Sometimes I think too much. Ok, pretty much all the time.
I go over things far too many times, in far too many situations.
Sometimes I don't give myself much of a chance, and sometimes I give myself too much of one.
Currently, it's a little bit of both, I'm afraid.
At the beginning I thought "no chance in hell". No way, no how. Turns out, I had a fairly good shot, and in fact, it seemed all but guaranteed to go well. I started feeling good about it all, looking forward, no stress, no worries. While the future seemed uncertain, I didn't fear it, and in fact, looked forward to it.
Along the way however, I ignored certain signs. Well, maybe not ignored, but put aside, and certainly overlooked.
Those signs are now all too clear.. and real. This little fantasy I built up in my head comes crashing back down. This does not mean I will be giving up, most certainly not. I will however sulk, and drink myself silly, and briefly feel sorry for myself. But life goes on, and who knows, maybe things will end up alright, or falter for the better. I'm not counting on it, but here's to hoping.
Yes, slightly melodramatic, but it amuses me, so deal with it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a bottle of rum with my name on it.
