"Hi. Today, I'm writing as a result of a friend suggesting that I do. I've got no clue where this post is going to end up... But then again, I never really do."
I'm gonna swallow my pride and admit to it here; Let's face it, I've made some pretty bad decisions in my short (almost) 18 years of life. In my younger teenage years, I might have beaten myself up over this, but over time I have learned that it's not my fault. Nor is it anyone else's. The thing with decisions is that you can never be 100% certain of the result. Whether a decision is a good one or not can only be judged after said decision has been followed through.
Recently, I decided to commit to something that made one party happy, but probably hurt other parties (on a varying scale of hurts, of course.) I had no idea what would happen, how I would feel about it, how far this initial attempt would develop... I definitely did not see what was coming.
Looking back on what's happened recently with this commitment, I can't really say whether or not it's worth continuing. There are times when I feel like it's something that's worth my time and effort, that it's something that is making me and will continue to make me happy. However, there are also moments of grief- jealousy, restraint, emotional strain, physical pain... Another thing about this situation is that there are (mainly) two parties involved. And sometimes, it just feels like the other party doesn't care quite as much as I do, doesn't make as much of an effort.
I'm really beginning to question my options. One of the obvious ones is to continue as I have been, trying to work everything out. The second is to give up.
The first one is the one I'm more likely to go with, mostly because I do not want to insult or hurt the second party. It is unclear, however, how and whether everything will work out. What if, in the end, it's all a waste of time and effort?
My second option is harder for me to do. I don't want to hurt anyone, nor does it seem fair to those who have been hurt/insulted by my initial actions. And really, it feels as though I would be giving up. For those of you who don't really know me too well, I can be incredibly stubborn at times (yes, I'm aware of it)- choosing to give up would make me seem so fickle.
So those are my thoughts right now...
Any opinions/suggestions? They'd be much appreciated.
goodbye

P.S- Ehh... Don't think I actually got anywhere with this post. Oh well.
