Dear Jenny Lynn:

You wrote: “So what? Is everyone gone?”- yes, everyone is temporary in our lives. Our very life is temporary, so everything in it is temporary.

“Were they (the men, John, Glen, others) all mistakes?”- looking back, reads like they were mistakes, that is, they didn’t/ don’t benefit you and your life. Thing is, the great majority of people spend the majority of their lives (I have) in relationships that are mistakes and leave them empty. You are no exception.

But it doesn’t have to continue this way. Really, if you pay attention and live thoughtfully, with clear intention, having reasonable goals and clarity of thinking, learning from your experiences, you can make your life way, way… way less a subject of mistakes. You can replace the random with planning, sort of be a good manager of your own life, directing your life.

No longer winging it, no longer settling  for what presents itself in front of you, but seeing the bigger picture, looking for options that are not visible. Specifically to the title and topic of your thread, it doesn’t have to be John or Glen. It can be.. (we don’t know yet).
