Devastated but only option is to move on
Everyone - So this was my 5th attempt and my lottery didn't go through. While my last post about choosing between wife and girlfriend was tongue in cheek humor to abate the frustration and used as a defence mechanism, it is partially true. I'm looking for a life partner but with 1 more attempt left (am doing a PHD - Day 1, don't want to get to the legalities of this), that seems far fetched now. Having spent 7 years in the US and worked hard at my job, it's heartbreaking to see my professional and personal toll.
I'm going to hit the gym and build the body that I wanted in 3 months' time for a start with focus on self improvement. For all those that got selected - congratulations and for those that didn't - lets all be positive, focus on self improvement - hitting the gym, travelling or playing a sport or just enjoying life in general.
Just wanted to put this one out there to say you're not alone.
