When I first bought my condo, I was determined to tackle a home repair project. The previous owner had applied a layer of “privacy film” to the glass door that led from the kitchen to the terrace, which not only blocked light but also a cool urban view. As I wasn’t inclined to walk around in my kitchen naked, I decided to chip away at the film, armed with a razor blade and “goo gone.” After laboring for two weekends, I’d barely completing a 6″ square, and finally relented to call a handyman who finished the job in 3o minutes. Determination, passion and focus aren’t always enough, whether it’s a creative project or a relationship. Sometimes the smart move is to move on.
