212,284,800 Seconds

212,284,800 seconds, 3,538,080 minutes, 58,968 hours, 351 weeks, 2457 days: 6 years 8 months and 21 days. That's how long I fought. That's how long it lasted.That's roughly 28% of my life. And it was gone in an instant, undone by my own hands. I cannot say that I am tremendously sad: after so long, one becomes more fatigued than sad. I cannot say that I haven't seen this coming for years; I have. But I held out hope. I kept trying, fighting, pushing, pulling, morphing...but it was to no avail. My efforts were futile. But I will not regret anything. I know I did everything in my power to save it. 212,284,800 seconds, 3,538,080 minutes, 58,968 hours, 351 weeks, 2457 days: 6 years 8 months and 21 days.

  1. Bleh. You have to dwell n the things you've learned and how to improve your life using said lessons to improve each subsequent second of your life. Do not dwell on time "wasted". Nothing is a waste, no matter how wasteful it seems it retrospect. I'm proud of you, chica. You put in your ALL, fought the hard fight, and came out bad-asser and more authentic than you ever were before.
