I realized that shit does happen and life goes on. There is nothing you can do to alter your past, but there are ways to create a life you enjoy and a life that is beautiful for yourself. I think as time goes by, personally, I am starting to learn from these stupid ass decisions I'm making, and realizing that I need to face some sort of consequence. Even if they're challenging, learn from the everyday expeditions you face. If you make a mistake once, it's not the end of the world, just don't make that same mistake twice, no matter how badly your heart tells you to. If you do, then there's another opportunity to learn, so don't run away. I find myself in a little "Suicide Tuesday" if I have made the same, decrepit mistake another time, but I think it's okay sometimes, because there's something you can take from it again. In some peoples mind-set, they think: "You can never possibly make the same mistake twice." and I believe this is something that can contort ourselves into thinking that everything is for the "thrill", the rush, the adrenaline, and for the moment. That will catch up to you. Even if you run away, you can still learn. My mother explained to me tonight, that the way I think and handle things is called being a Psycho- Path. Someone who manipulates people into getting what they want, who has no remorse for what they've done. I thought about it after our conversation. "What if that's me? What if I really have no sympathy...?" I'm a human. I might be cold, but that's just because my father died, and even then there was no sympathy. How could there be? I never knew him. I didn't know his flaws, his quirks, if he smoked Marlboro Reds or Newports. Everyone handles situations in different ways because of who they are and what they have been through. It doesn't matter if you experienced making a mistake once, and learning from it or a mistake five times, and not learning from it ever. It doesn't fucking matter because everyone is different. There are options in life, and you are the controller. Live for yourself, and do what makes you happy. Live up to standards or morals you have set for yourself. Learn from mistakes and don't challenge the consequence, accept it and know you'll move on. React to learn. Believe, and stand up for yourself. Start manipulating ideas, not people.
