The Wide Perspective

On May Two-Four, my all-time favourite TV series came to an end. In the penultimate episode, one of the characters had the following to say:

If you step back and look at the whole picture, if you're brave enough to allow yourself the gift of a really wide perspective, if you do that, you'll see that the end is not sad. It's just the start of the next incredibly beautiful thing.

I believe I have always had the gift of a wide perspective. Recently, I wrote the following to the Eternal Boy:

My "romantic" relationships have been unfortunate ... No regrets and no complaints!

Each of my relationships, romantic or otherwise, have taught me about who I am and what I want.

The definitive conclusion is that I haven't been loved the way I deserve to be loved. That makes me sad. Not regretting … not complaining … just stating a simple fact!

I want the boys to understand that it is alright to accept the way things are if they can “live with it”! However, it is never too late to pursue happiness and change the course of their lives.
