the dangers of settling

As easy as it is to imagine, it is still gutwrenchingly difficult when reality pulls you to where you really are.

It is worse with the matters of the heart. So often, we find ourselves longing but when the object of desire doesn't materialise or says something that contradicts that which is going on in your head, we rationalise. You know what I mean.

When you don't get THAT job.

When the man of your dreams decides it's not you.
