Losing Nothing

January 21, 2011

You know when you want something badly--really badly--and you convince yourself that it could really come to pass? Yeah, me too. So when it doesn't happen, even though you never really had it, it feels like a loss anyway. And then there's this whole grieving process for nothing, which feels self-indulgent, because how can you be sad about losing what you didn't have?

I'm usually all about looking on the bright side, finding the silver lining, and all that. And I will. I just needed to acknowledge and inhabit this space a bit first.
