For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

I Tried to Be…

Life is extremely indif­fer­ent for me these days. I’ve been lis­ten­ing to this 6-part series by Louie Giglio enti­tled “Boy Meets Girl” and it’s basi­cally changed my per­cep­tion of dat­ing; it’s not nec­es­sar­ily any­thing I haven’t heard before, how­ever it does indeed take an hon­est and straight­for­ward look at rela­tion­ships and the chal­lenges they bring. It’s been both refresh­ing and some­what encour­ag­ing; over­all what he’s say­ing makes com­plete sense. I would rec­om­mend it to just about anybody.

I was hav­ing a con­ver­sa­tion with some­one yes­ter­day that truly got me think­ing about past rela­tion­ships. It’s amaz­ing to look at who you were before the par­tic­u­lar rela­tion­ship, who you were dur­ing the rela­tion­ship, and who you were after it ended. Ide­al­is­ti­cally, one would hope to be the same per­son in all three sit­u­a­tions… right? How often does that really hap­pen though?

Any­way, that’s been the thing I’ve been strug­gling with lately.

There's only one response so far for this post:

  1. Sounds to me like it’s more of what you’re doing, learn­ing, think­ing, grow­ing in, lately– instead of struggling.

    The fact that you even care about that stuff is so admire­able! That’s seri­ously one of the coolest things about you Gary, is that you care. You care about who you are and who you’re com­ing across as being in a pro­fes­sional sense, per­sonal sense, just…seemingly every “sense” there is.

    You putting work into it, and try­ing to fig­ure out who you are, where you’re lack­ing, and try­ing to change that…that is SO awe­some :D you rock like crazy, and are incred­i­bly loved, and equally respected in every pos­si­ble sense of ‘respect’!
