My life has not turned out the way I had hoped it would. I seem to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over and now it is too late to live any other way. I had hoped that this time would be different but it isn’t. I lost myself in the possibilities and yet again was blinded to reality.

There isn’t anything to be done about it. I am not looking for sympathy or support. I just wanted a place to say what is. So I will do the British thing. I will keep calm and carry on.

Tears make the tea a bitter cup.
