This is about a terrible decision I made three years ago, and what happened to my life afterwards.
This is one of those articles I really shouldn’t be writing because of what it could do to my “personal brand.”
But you know what? F**k a personal brand.
This is who I am. This is a decision I made. If it stops one person from doing the same, my job is done.
Let’s read.
Meeting my future wife
Five years ago I started dating a girl from my college. She was beautiful and actually treated me well (unlike every other girlfriend I ever had).
After six months of dating with little to no arguments at all, I knew I was going to marry her. She was just a beautiful soul that was easy as hell to love.
Then I got an email.
It was from Disney. They were reminding me of something called the Disney University Program — a four–eight month internship in Walt Disney World for students from around the globe. I dreamed of working at WDW since I was 16, and without much of a prayer I decided to apply.
Within 10 minutes I was invited to do a “web screening” with about 150 multiple-choice questions. 30 minutes later I was invited to schedule a phone interview — the last step of the process.
The whole damn thing took me an hour. I couldn’t believe it. I found out later that 80 per cent of people don’t get past the web-screen, and I blew through it in 30 minutes.

No. You are one confused guy.
It is so blatantly clear that it was the internship at Disney that was good for you and your personal growth, not the cheating. Don;t glorify it, buddy.
And an 'honest mistake' is accepting too much change at the grocer but not realising until you get home. Not making a decision to be unfaithful, not allowing cheating to happen.
Truth is, you wanted to have your cake and eat it too - have the best of both worlds. Have that girl on hold and not allow her to be free and date, but then have almost a year away living as a young single guy and being with others. Greedy. You owed her the same opportunity that you had, as a free woman and cut her loose.
Instead you stole nearly a year of her life, wasting her time. And thats one of the worst things you can do, is waste someone else's time - especially a woman who lives with a time limit on meeting someone she can have children with during her fertile years.
