Don't Rush Into Things

As you have read on the headline, do not rush into things.

That's all I can say. Speaking based off my own experience, rushing into things often got me nowhere or at least somewhere I don't want to be at. That feeling of not belonging to something or somewhere could eventually ended up making you feel isolated, deceived by your decision and to me, it's the worse thing I could do to myself. A grief I brought upon myself. Nobody else did that, but me. I did that to me.

And it all started because I rush into things. My one of many faults.

There are days when I wish I would think things through before agreeing or doing something. Maybe just take a breather and just freaking sit on a chair, facing a wall and THINK. Whenever my friends come up to me for advices, I wouldn't say I'm the best at it, but often, I find myself saying things to other people so much easier than just telling myself to do it cause I am one stubborn piece of gum on your shoe sole that won't go off. So you can see, it is hard for me to stop for a while and just do it. I'm the regret and let's not do it again kind of gal. What irks me the most is that, I hate regrets. I don't just hate it, I LOATH IT. Oddly, it is that ONE thing I can't live without.

The things I regret are often the outcome of me making decisions without thinking it through. Rushing to decide on things that could wait. To me, they couldn't. Opportunity is viewed as this one time deal to me. Take it or leave it kind of situation. I believe it is the outcome of the fact that I never had much experience or privileged to choose from in my life. Things, tragedies, incidents in my life comes rolling so fast when I'm barely on my feet so out of fear of losing out or being crushed by this thing called life, I choose to just hook on the first thing I see to hang on. I don't think things through.

The effect of me going through life heads on, has led me to actually live my life without much consideration or giving myself time to think. Most of the time, I ended up at the wrong hook. A better hook could have come in slightly later and better but, I refused to look further. I rush into things and I always find myself in places I don't want to be at.

So, recently I did something shocking. I decided to get out of the situation that I put myself in, the outcome of me rushing into things and it was one of the best thing I've let myself went through. Leading up to this decision, I, had some time, thinking it through. Talking to people about it and I did it. I got myself out of this misery.

When you rush your life, you're gonna overwork yourself. Cause, we're all walking at a pace. One step at a time. Missing your step because you choose to skip a few and make it fast would sometimes trip you. You would hurt yourself along the way. Yes, walking through life at a pace would hurt you too but don't inflict pain upon yourself by risking to fall every few steps because you just want to be faster. Going so fast in life, makes you miss all the views you could have seen. If you go so fast, you would only see dashes of colours of what it could have been, not the bigger picture.

Anyway, I hope you would live life to the fullest and have lesser regrets than I do!
