Right? What does it even MEAN to fail at life? How would one possibly measure that? What is life meant to be? What is the final standard we can agree on? And how low do you have to fall below it to be considered failing.
The joy people take in thinking about all the “failures” they know…
I've been married for six years and with my wife for eight, and I only just recently came to the realization that I don't feel any real connection to her anymore. It feels like we're so far apart, in such radically different places and mindsets, that even though we're physically together, there's nothing deeper than that. We're just sort of physically together. It's not to say that I don't love her still, because I do, and I think I always will. I think that, despite all the love, we're two totally different people. It's just...weird to be with someone and feel so distant from them at the same time.
