When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

So it’s over between Paul and me. I never cheated on him and so feel betrayed. But what can I say? I have to move on with my life. I can’t dwell on things. I’ve been feel extremely down recently and Paul acted very blasé towards it. ‘I don’t want a clinically depressed boyfriend’ or words to that affect. I still love him of course and probably always will, but in the words of Marilyn Monroe, ‘if you can’t handle me at my worst then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best’. I’ll find someone who is prepared to try to understand me and someone who doesn’t just give up when things get shitty.
