Yes, perseverance is a quality I have along with impatience. But then it took me 24 years to get my masters. Hardly showing a lack of patience… A number of people have said I have perseverance as a quality from when I was young through to adulthood. And yes, when we were chucked off the train I texted my sponsor to say I might turn back, but I didn’t. Perseverance! You will see I also put procrastination in my personal life. Because it has taken me many years 5 and 6 respectively to get out of the two main relationships I have had in my life, a very very long time after they were over with each. With the 1st it was for of the kids, I had come from a hitter broken home. With the 2nd via I didn’t want to put him out on the street until he was working which he now is. This has cost me personally. My needs don’t seem to have come into it and that is by and large to do with how I feel about myself and confidence in my ability to move forward into a happy life. I will contemplate that and work on it. Both major relationships have had bullying and abuse issues, although Pete worked on his and there has been nothing for a nearly a decade now. But really, there is nothing left, just 2 old friends with nothing in common at all. We just inhabit the same space and soon it will be time to call a day on it.
