Ghostwriter
After 304 days of making my goals, today I did not. I failed. The goals was “Today I am going to ride with the tide.” I am actually crying. I was truly hopeful I could make it year. Today was the perfect storm and I let me emotions take over and say what I believed with all my heart needed to be said. My reward was that I failed. I couldn’t keep my goals even for one year. The good news is that you won’t hear me talking about them any longer. It’s over.
I do hope that something I said today was worth losing 304 days of commitment. I think it’s probably time, even though it’s only 3:36pm where I am, to take a good book, a Valium, and read until I drift into what I hope to be a deep sleep. I hope that heals me in some what.
I wish I had been brave enough just to keep my mouth shut and ride with the tide. Crying over spilled milk has never accomplished anything. I hope you have a good night and many more happy days.
This is Ghost Writer over and out.
I’ve also experienced quite a few falls, but I’ve always picked up … so just keep moving and never give up, dear friend….the sun always shines in the rain and so is life
304 and 1.
You can get back on the horse. I know, it is hard when we do not reach out goals. It is painful but your posts help all of us stay focused.
plus, if you were a rodeo bull rider, wouldn’t a 304 and 1 record be pretty darn good?
Please, stay with us!!! We all have ups & downs, be always sure that all troubles are solved sooner or later. Don’t give up!!! We’re always with you!!!
You don’t mean you are leaving this site! I understand what it means to fail to accomplish a goal. But, you shouldn’t give up. Failure isn’t an indication it’s never possible.
Like Rasma, I’m also a struggling writer. I write for different sites to make a living.
Pardon me for asking but what is the Valium for?
Now, what in the world does all this mean? Surely you are not giving up on everything. I can tell you I have been struggling as a poor writer trying to make ends meet all year long. I have my up days and my down days but if I were to stop, to give up on it all then I would have nothing. I say keep the faith, dust off the failure, and keep on truckin’
