Realizing Until It’s Too Late

Every single one of us has to go through this phase at some point in our lives, some of us so-called lucky to have it early when you still have people who look after you, and then some just have to deal with it on their own and trust me it’s better to have it this way because it opens up your mind to a whole new level to understand the situations and it’s not the same when there are people to teach you. It usually happens when you have to move away from your family and start living on your own. Your mind is not ready to face such responsibilities at first but you'll come around eventually. Realizing that you've been doing it all wrong thinking it was right will happen to you many times until you’re mature enough to understand it.

You must have been through some severe event to find yourself here and you wouldn’t want this to happen again, but there is no guarantee of that, so all we can do is try our best to learn from it. It could be trusting your “so-called friend” you know you that you shouldn’t have, or you could have gotten hurt by someone knowing that it was bound to happen, but you decided to stay close. Worst of all, you could have hurt someone for your own temporary pleasure. There are hundreds of other possibilities. Even though it hurts a lot but this is how we enter a new phase, so you don’t necessarily need to run from it.  This does not happen all of a sudden, and you know it, but not realizing it sooner is not your fault for the first time because as I mentioned everyone has to go through it and the reason for that is being unaware which is completely natural. You’re lucky if your mistake doesn’t involve any other person but if it does, believe me coming back from that is not too easy, you should always try your best to be apologetic and try to help people that you hurt in any way you can and hope for the best.

As I said earlier that it does not happen all of a sudden, so when you’re doing something that you think is right, having no idea what it may lead to soon, try looking out for checkpoints that will be there telling you where you are heading and what would be the actual outcome. Don’t let the temporary pleasure overcome you and make you blind to understand the consequences that you’ll have to face eventually. Always have an open mind to your surroundings, try to see the actual picture of the story. At first, it’s not going to be easy, but you have to stay put. Think of the feeling of satisfaction at the end of something done right. The feeling of joy and delight that you have after stopping yourself from something horrible, which seems okay at the time is just something that you’ll choose over anything once you understand it.

I kept it general, and it’s something that can help anyone with this kind of problem that they face. So, I’ll sum it up with three words only UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION.
