Posted by: Fats in: Ang kasabihan...What mix of emotions going back on old correspondences and notes. The dangers to be endured were quite clear yet I pushed through with the venture towards a “new life” because of extreme positivism and trust. I also miscalculated my strength, underestimated my weakness. New obstacles also appeared. But depression is an “honest signal”, no doubt that I had reached the breaking point in trying to do everything possible to save a relationship. Giving up to save myself is the most difficult, giving up on anything is always difficult. But I must remember that I have not given up on myself.
I think we could make available for ourselves some choices - not only to try to be positive or to protect or defend ourselves by being negative. There must be other ways… I don’t know (either) how long I could bear a consistently negative environment …
