I'm a person who values the process more.
I just broke up with my boyfriend a short time ago, because, well, he wasn't fitting the process and I couldn't revamp anymore. He had/has depression, no desire to get out of bed, would rather hang out with his parents than me, neglected cleaning, me, everything. Our relationship could have been saved had he just gone to the doctor. (Amazing how one small thing can alter the world.)
I decided his unintentionl cruelty because of a terrible disease wasn't going to screw with my growth. A few days later:
1) I am spending time with this amazing drummer from a fairly successful band who seems interested in me, takes me to dinner, pays attention to me.
2) My boss mentions my raise will be $1.50 to $2.00 an hour.
3) I learned this wonderful apartment I'm going to look at has NO cat deposit.
Sure, my goal of having a healthy, happy relationship with R? OVER! It's okay though, because otherwise my life is AWESOME. It's the process, not the goal.
