But you have power. Over you. You are powerless over what she does, and if she wins, ect. But you have power in so many other places. That's what GAL/180's are all about.
I wasn't always apathetic. I just realized whether or not he gets to say "I won" really matters. Sure, it stinks. I pounded my fists a bunch of times and said "It's not fair he won!!" I don't even think my ex feels like he won. He knows he got what he wanted, but I don't understand the concept of the other person winning.
But where did that get me? Absolutely nowhere. Wait, I lie, I got me angry and less focused on my life and more on his.
So what if you don't "win"? But you do get a better you out of it. So what if you can't run around and say "I won"!
Honestly, and I am not saying in spite, but the winning and losing thing is kind of an immature way of thinking. I had the same immaturity at one time. a whole "stupid f*cker won!" but then I realized how childish that was. It's ok to grieve what you lost. But being so bitter about what someone else has can wear a person down.
