The kind of person that takes time to get to know.

Describe your worst failure

Huh.

That's a little negative.

Just to be honest. It makes me a little uncomfortable.

Not just the idea of thinking about bad things I've done and that have happened to me, and not just the thinking of them as total and complete failures instead of set backs.

Because you can't let yourself get stuck by that stuff. You have to find your center, and...you know. Think about about other people.

And, because: sure. I have had days. I've held jobs and didn't think much about them. I've been fired and didn't think much about that either. I should have maybe gone to college. I think that sometimes. I get the feeling I should have or am supposed to think about it more. Maybe I should write that down.

...

Oh right. And anyway. And: relationships, sure. I've had relationships that have failed spectacularly, and, in retrospect, that was probably my fault. But I'm working on it.

But that is what happens, is what I'm saying. Not everything lasts and not everything is supposed to, because, wow, if it did, life would be short. Or long. Or something.

My point is that at twenty-eight I definitely don't want to have had a worst failure yet. Not until I'm at least, like, thirty-five.
