Life’s Guidebook
It is funny how you believe everything is fine and deep inside you understand nothing is.
It is funny how you trust your own decisions and at the same time you doubt them every day.
It is funny how you expect things to go one way because you know this is right.
And it is funny that what is right for you in no way right for someone else.
There are no stereotypes, clichés of how to deal with a certain situations. You don’t have a guidebook for each and everything. It would be much simpler if you had such a book handy.

I bet this book would be a bestseller. It is just that it is impossible to write instructions, it is impossible to tell people what to do, where to go, who to talk to.
We won’t take them.
We won’t believe them.
We won’t be able to apply them to our situations.
Because we believe we are unique and we know better. Heck, we don’t. And we are not. It is all the same. You go out there and you make mistakes. You fight with people you love. You put your ego above everything. You hate some and you care about others. And your mistakes cost you a lot. Sometimes more than you can handle. More than you believed it would. More than you hoped. More than you wanted. That is where you realize that more is actually less.
It should be
More mistakes = more experience = more sense = better future
Instead it is
More mistakes = more experience = more sense = people lost and feelings hurt.
The more mistakes you make the more people you hurt. And then you are left with nothing but regrets and what if’s.
It is funny how you believe you are doing the right thing and deep inside you know you are not.
And you won’t do anything about it… not until it is too late…

How do you manage to put all these feelings in words? It is just amazing! I think of all that u mentioned many times,but never thought it could be jotted down! Amazing!
There are a lot of what if’s and buts in life which make life exciting at times.It would be really monotonus if we had such an instruction book!
Loved your post!
Take care

I like that one too. In the end it is this way, just we learn it a tough way.
Glad you liked the post!

This is going to sound abrupt, but it’s not intentional. How about just suck it up and move on? That works for me without all the energy- sapping, over-analyzing drama? The more you think about any given thing, the worse it seems and the less you will be able to get over it.

I know you are right, to think it over for million times, analyze it more and more only makes everything worse.
One of my favorite quotes is: “Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.”
But I guess it is a human tendency to think about things and screw yourself over and over again. I for one am like this and maybe it is too late to change

Yeah, those things suck, and mistakes hurt, but they’re all for the better if we learn from them.
Like I said on my blog (that you comment on, that led me here) I dated a guy for 4.5 years. When it ended, it sucked. It felt like I’d wasted so much time on him. But it was also one of the best learning experiences of my life. I learned so much from it! Silver lining, I guess.

When you make a choice, especially a major life changing one, there is always a smidgen of doubt, at least for me.
Sometimes, as I adjust to my life the way it is now, that smidgen can sometimes grow HUGE.
But when I look at my choices and weigh the pros and cons, the pros outweigh the cons by a mile, and for me as hard as this has been, I made the right choice.
