Failure is not Flattering

So whenever you start off with something new, the last thing you want to do is fail. Jobs, projects, relationships. The last thing I want to do is fail at any of the things I listed, but if I succeed, who else fails. I apologize for the ambiguity, but I'm feeling pretty vague. I've always felt like I was born in the wrong decade, I live in the wrong time. Its not like I have a DeLorean that reaches 88; but I kinda wish there was a way I could experience another time.

The good news is that I'm doing all that I can to enjoy the now of life, and I can't help but think I've found someone to share that with... it may be soon, but I no longer feel like I am in an empty room.

Secrets keep people in business. I've got a few lifetimes-worth of secrets vaulted up. I listen to people and try to imagine their issues as a screenplay, trying to figure out what they opening credit sequence would look like to their biopic movie. If other people had the final cut of my biopic, I'd have some explaining to do. The perception others have of me is unique. My reality is problematic. "If people only knew" is the most appropriate saying.
