the one that got away - how do you handle grief?


I just lost a bid for my dream speakers that I had been chasing for a decade. It was pretty stupid because I missed the last hour and maybe I would have won it with another $100. But maybe it's a sign, it's just a piece of hardware, that I should not be obsessed with. - "you can't always get what you want"

Did you always get the gear you thought would make you whole?

No such thing as the 'one that got away'...there are hundreds of other options.

@faustuss  you are not wrong. I exaggerated when I used the word grief. My English is based on assumptions. It's not my first language. 

@phd that's exactly what happened! If only I was diligent enough to stay online in the last 10 minutes. I thought that nobody wanted it that bad.

@simao it resonates with me a lot. I sold an amp, I still miss.

@jafant yes, but I am weak and flawed!

@jacklynn the number of times I was told to find a therapist by my wife is approaching the 1000s. devil
