Re: The Butterfly Effect

It sounds like you learned a lot about what you want for your future. I'd mark that as a success story... if you take the lessons to heart and grow from the experience.

Accept that you have burned bridges, and then examine each one. Why did it burn? What was the specific behavior that burned it? How does that behavior generalize to the future? It isn't a fun process, and you will naturally attempt to blame others. Don't. This is your introspection, and the only thing that matters is what you can change in yourself.

You can change who you are and who you will be, but you can not change who you were.



Good luck.

PS: This sort of thing has happened before, and will happen again. It seems that every year, someone takes a SwanDive and belly flops hard. The people who continue to defend the jump get pushed away. The people who accept the situation are lent (tentative) hands of support.
