I actually make a lot of them.
It's terrible how caught up you can get in the moment. Do you know the kind? I'm talking about those moments where you are filled with such emotion that you may as well be drunk, because no matter what your brain might tell you, you are willing to do just about anything to get your emotion across. A good example would be posting angry and downright cruel tweets on behalf of your sister, whether she would have ever asked you to do such a thing or not. It's the kind of things where when you think about what you have done later, you just want to go back in time and slap yourself in the face.
Anger, jealousy, hurt - these are the kind of emotions we allow to take control of us. When that happens, they most usually result in mistakes. I don't think we are meant to live that way, to be honest. I think life was meant to be happy and joyous, even during the rough times. I think it is important that we find ways to filter these emotions fluidly, such as writing in a journal or doing yoga, so that we do not make mistakes that threaten are own appearance or self-worth. We need to be aware that are actions, no matter what the reasons behind them, have definite reactions. When we allow emotion to control us, we only have further drama and misery awaiting us in the end.
I am not saying that we will not feel these emotions, because oh, they will come. However, I know for me, in the future, I am going to start finding better ways to control/filter them. Causing additional drama for others and myself is not what I am looking to do.
Maybe when I learn to find peace and happiness, I will have more control to help myself from making as many silly, emotionally-controlled mistakes.
Until next time...happy blogging!

i feel the exact same - i just cant handle it when i do something wrong, and i dont think im a perfectionist or anything, but i get scared that someone will give out to me or something! i hold on to my mistakes too, i cant just let it go or forget about it! every single thing i do wrong is stored in the back of my mind, just reminding me why i should TRY! it's awful!! :(

Emotions are difficult to handle no matter what it may be. People will tell you the past is the past, but they are wrong. Some mistakes can affect you for the rest of you life; I am unfortunately dealing with this right now.
ReplyDeleteBut I love your blog. I feel like I can relate to all of your posts in one way or another :) followed.
