Just prepping. . . how personal is too personal? I know it's generally better not to do something academic. I have plenty of failures, just hard to pinpoint the greatest one. One thing that comes to mind is how for months I failed to notice my partner (now spouse) was depressed and didn't have enough food to eat (due to lack of money). Obviously this took a huge toll on our relationship and I learned a lot from it but seems like this might be too personal?
