Decisions are not the easiest thing in life. But tougher than those are the hitches that come and make you wonder if you did, after all, take the right decision, when the whole world seems to be set to prove that you were wrong.
Agonized over the decision, now appears to be wrong, seeing the current situation.
Yet, life's gonna move on, some people will learn how to become better people, some will learn to face conflict, some will face their fears and others will realize the importance of doing the right thing.
It's crazy the number of petty issues a person can take up and mull over. The way people's minds work is beyond my comprehension. I like keeping it simple, or well. .. even if not simple, then at least not against a person. Sometimes against certain actions and behaviors, but not people. And possibly that's why I can't understand it.
People are separate (a thin line, but a line nevertheless) from their actions and behaviors.
Gosh, there is just so much to learn in this world. Not just academics (which is other people's opinions and decisions. Valid and important, but other's), but a whole lot about how the world works, how you respond, and how you should respond. More than academics (which are valuable, I'm realizing now), we need to become people of this world. No matter how individualistic, unique, crazed-up people with deep dark thoughts we are, no matter how skewed our perception of the world with us is, we have to become people of this world, and be one of the crowd (albeit, not always, but sometimes. And to realize others reactions to our actions). While growing up, something happens, and you don't remain the same person you used to be. You realize how insufficient you really are, and how different the world really is. You sit back and wonder why things don't matter to you as much as they do to others, and why you react so differently. And then, snap! , in just a few days, your basic instincts, reactions and things-that-matter merge with everyone else and life carries on. Is that what's called growing up? It's starting to happen to me.
And yes, you will have to adapt, and you will have to learn to let go of regret and the things that hurt.
