I'm glad in a way that things turned out the way they did. I've spent so long looking for some form of external validation, usually in the form of a person, that I had almost forgotten how to live for myself. I must confess some disappointment but in the end, the doing is what's important. It's truly crucial to do something with your life, everyday, to just do. It took a rambling midnight conversation with some of the most brilliant people I know to remind me of that, but now that I've got it in my head, I intend to live by it. There's no need for brooding, waiting, stuttering and stopping, action is what matters. I want to live a life in which things happen, exciting things, fun things, scary things, and the only way that will happen is by doing, going out and doing things. So yes, I am disappointed, but I'm happy as well, things could have turned out much worse, and even if they had, I made my move, took my losses and kept going, and that is, to me, an unprecedented symptom of well-being.
