I'm behind where I want to be in my life in terms of my career goals and living situation, and I'm single. I'm not very comfortable with being single, but I suppose that's why I should be for a while. I've made a lot of mistakes, wasted plenty of time. You really do end up carrying that weight. Now I'm making up ground as quickly as I can, but the rate I'm stuck at is maddening.
I've made plenty of excuses and received an excess of sympathy and/or validation. It doesn't change my situation. Just need to keep moving. Get my work done, finish what I've started, learn how to bring people into my life. That might mean injecting myself into theirs, but I don't know that I want to believe that; it's so exhausting making all the effort to maintain someone's interest. I think if I just focus on everything else I'm working on, I won't have to try so hard to be interesting.
