The games people play
I always promised myself I would never turn into that person. The person who played games, who complicated things by playing mind games, the person who would never let herself get hurt, wouldn't mind if he stayed out with his friends all day long and didn't call me. I would never be the person who hurt my friend, or the person who apologized again and again even if it wasn't my fault, I would never backstab someone, never let my pride get in the way of a relationship. But then again, I also told myself that I would write in my blog everyday.
It's easy to look at a situation and say "How foolish he/she is. I would never let things get that far." Or "I would NEVER do that'. We forget though that never is too long a time. I told myself I would never give anyone more than once chance. But I did. I told myself that a guy would never come between us friends. He did, for however short a time. I told myself I would never give up on my dreams. I did. I told myself I would let my walls down when I figured the right person came along. I built more walls.
So I guess what I am trying to say is that while we can build up situations in our head, and our reactions to them, unless we face the situation, we never know how we are going to react to it. And if we do not react well to it, why be so hard on yourselves? We are humans, we make mistakes. We cannot undo it. There is no point in feeling bad about it. We fail, we feel things we shouldn't, we say things we don't mean.
Don't be hard on yourself. Life does that for you.
