Slipping in responsibility

[reynardo]

I wondered about this. I was corresponding with a guy in the US, who was stuck in an iron lung and had been for many years. And then, like so often in my life, I let things slip because if I let them slip a little I feel guilty and can't get back to it.

I admit I've let friendships go, lost contact with wonderful people, missed opportunities, all because of this bad habit.

And now I can't get back in touch with him. He died in 1999, about a year after I lost touch.

I'm angry at myself, pissed off at myself, annoyed at myself.

Resolution

I will do better.
I will not let my guilt paralyse me.

I will accept responsibility for being stupid, and not let it make things worse.

Dammit.

The best advice Kaptain Krispie ever gave me was:

"Build a bridge and get over it".

At the time I was fairly annoyed, and told him to fsck off, but its still valid advice.

Sorry about your friend. *snugglehuggle*
