I met someone great recently and we talked about so much, we seemed to have a liking to each other, but something with both of us didn't seem to click. The conversation was wonderful, and we both learned a lot from the other on how they handle problems, and I now have some new ammo for my fight with depression, I hope that I gave them some too.
Alas, it did not work.
I was really hoping that I was going to start having a closer relationship with someone and be able to help them in some was, but I was not going to happen. Their "monsters that they are fighting" are very hard for them, and secretly I know that now is not at good time for me to start a relationship that intense because I still have the "monsters" of my own.
I am glad that we are going to be friends, that is greater than a relationship, because there are no pretenses. I learned from my mistakes of being "too intense" which is a plus too. But I am very happy that I have a new friend that knows more about computers than I do in my last year in avionics.
The setback was I was looking for a relationship, that we both did not need, but got a friend. I didn't get exactly what I was looking for, but got a wonderful beautiful gift in return.
We will always have setbacks in life, even with the intentions. Don't stop trying, because you will get there!
We don't always get what we want, but eventually, if we can open our eyes to see it, we realize that we do get what we need.
