Always remember that you're going to make mistakes in life. No one is perfect, and everyone is going to agree with some of the decisions, words you've said, spoken or written. I'm not saying that this justifies all the mistakes that I've made. There are decisions that still haunt & taunt me every night - they do. What I've learnt, is that some of these decisions made -they can lead to drastic changes in life. A lost of a friend, a change life's path, or sometimes a fork in the road. Don't beat yourself up for what has already happened. Learn from the mistakes and learn how you than before.. Can be a better person.
Not everyone is going to agree with your decisions, your actions or your words. It's very different when you're a player & a spectator. It really is. As a spectator, we think or we might think that we know everything. We anticipate moves, we're strong headed on our views of the situation & sometimes we forget that we're not the player. We are not in the game, we're merely watching. As a player, it's a world different. As a player, the decisions that are made were made to fit to that situation. Feelings, thoughts, emotions - you're a mess. There are many strings to a puppets and sadly, to fully function all the strings need to move in sync. No one will truly understand the emotions, thoughts that are running through your mind at 2 am in the morning. They won't.
Only you do.
Spectators think they've go it all figured out, but they don't. Sometimes they throw a huge fit when a player screws up, and forfeits a match. Same as life, you can give someone advice, but never think you know what they're going through, because you don't.
My dad always said never assume, neven judges because one day you might find yourself in the same situation as they are!! If you're going to be a friend in that situation, you've got to be okay with the outcome. You've got to understand and that ultimately, this is his/her choice to make in life. Sometimes as friends, we see our friends make crappy decisions that we aren't all too happy about. But as long as we've did our part as a friend, that's all that matters. How a person leaves, says a lot about their character. As much as you can say otherwise, it does.
