What do you do when...

Hn.

How do I put this...

No matter how hard you keep trying, everything turns out the wrong way?

You pick yourself up and keep moving.

Re: [Anonymous text]

[cure_moonlight]

I have before and keep on doing so.

When cycles keep repeating themselves, however, and seem to only worsen each and every time...

Re: [Anonymous text]

[last_lombax]

There has to be something causing the cycle.

Re: [Anonymous text]

[cure_moonlight]

Yes... unfortunately, what that is...

It isn't something I can really help...

Re: [Anonymous text]

[last_lombax]

If you can't help it, fight against it anyway. Don't give up.

Well, it may not be what you want to hear, but...

When your actions keep having the same results... it may be time to change your actions.

Science teaches that an experiment done the same way will always have the same results. It's change that induces change.

Of course, without knowing more, I can't offer any better advice...

Re: [Registers as Silverwing's D-Comm]

[cure_moonlight]

Change, again...

Hmn.

I've not been given very many options, unfortunately...

Re: [Registers as Silverwing's D-Comm]

[scrapperzen]

Very many options that you can see.

The worst situations are entered into because someone believes there's no other way to do things.

There are always other ways. Some are unpleasant, some are crazy, and some may seem counter-productive.

But there is always more to a situation than can be seen, and you're never as trapped as you think you are. Take a second, breathe, and look at what you're about to get yourself into. Then do the last thing that's expected of you.

Sometimes, the best way to win is not to play.

Re: [Registers as Silverwing's D-Comm]

[cure_moonlight]

I can't help but play.

All I've been able to do is keep fighting...

Re: [Registers as Silverwing's D-Comm]

[scrapperzen]

It sounds to me that fighting is part of the problem.

I won't dispute that there's a time and a place for conflict... but it sure sounds as though you're getting pushed further than you need to be.

If you don't want to get into it further, all I can offer is the assurance that there are other ways. And it REALLY sounds like you need one.

[uberlikehermama]

... Umm... keep trying? I guess. How many times have you tried this?

[cure_moonlight]

...several.

[uberlikehermama]

... Are you trying the exact same thing, or is this just in general?

[cure_moonlight]

Circumstances have changed each time, but the result now still seems to be the same regardless...

[uberlikehermama]

So this is basically everything seeming like it's not going right, and not you just trying to stop one specific thing that keeps happening?

[darkmagicalgirl]

I know this is very easy to say, but I know how you must feel... there was once a time, where everything I tried for the sake of another person earned the same result...

... It wasn't until I let someone else into my life that I started to see it differently.

[cure_moonlight]

There are other people.

They have helped me a lot.

But this cycle continues in spite of that.

Re: [anonymous] [text]

[darkmagicalgirl]

Then what Vivio said applies here, as well. We can't help you unless you open up. Step into the light.

You're making yourself take on this burden alone, regardless of the people you say you have supporting you.

I can tell you right now, hiding from them and us won't get you anywhere.

Re: [anonymous] [text]

[cure_moonlight]

There is a limit to what I can do in the light, I'm afraid.

Re: [anonymous] [text]

[darkmagicalgirl]

And what can you do like this?

Be honest with us, please. This is nothing more than cowardice.

Retrace your steps and find where it went wrong. Learn from that to do better the next time around.

Re: [text - anon]

[cure_moonlight]

I wish it were that simple...

Re: [text - anon]

[fasternlightbot]

Nothing worth doing is simple or easy. But if you can't adapt to pas errors, I don't know how you're going to change the outcome. Unless you get someone better suited to the job to take over.

Re: [text - anon]

[cure_moonlight]

If I could find a way to truly communicate with the other party at hand, it might be different. But my words do not reach this person.

If they don't, then my only choice will come down to something drastic.

Something I'm not sure I can do again.

A good friend of mine said, "Everything will work out in the end." You've just got to keep moving and keep on trying to achieve your dreams.
