Bad Life Choices

Sometimes life gives you second chances. Sometimes life lets you right your wrongs, change your mind, go back on your decisions. And sometimes you can't. There are other times when it is more difficult, if not impossible to change what has passed. Everyone has situations they wish they could travel back in time and redo differently. I'm the kind of person who lives life trying not to do anything I could possibly regret. Sometimes I miss out on things, and sometimes I save myself alot of grief. I'm the kind of person who learns alot from the mistakes of others. When I witness my friends making bad decisions, it solidifies my own decisions to avoid certain things. I still can sympathize with them. I help talk through the remorse and sometimes the guilt. Yet it is far more frustrating and upsetting for me when a poor choice has been made, but I am the only one who sees it that way. Sometimes it sucks to be the one person with a different opinion. Sometimes it sucks to be the one person with higher morals. Sometimes people resent me, or lie to me because of it. Often they're friends who are afraid of being judged or condemned. Truly i can do neither, and truly I choose to do neither. Few things hurt me more than friends who won't trust me with the truth. Sometimes people won't say the truth out loud because it makes it that much more real. But you can not escape from the truth, it is absolute and irrefutable, and can never fully be disguised by a lie. But sometimes you have the chance to alter that truth, and sometimes it's just too hard.
