Gloomy Sunday

Do we all deserve a second chance? I personally think that everyone deserves a second chance. Not that I believe all people will indeed change, but who knows, right?

Some think, giving somebody, who's apparently making mistake(s) before, is gambling and such a waste. I'm not with them, but to be faced the situation where you really want to give someone a second chance yet you're not supposed to, yet you're not able to, that's killing me.

That situation makes me think, maybe everyone indeed deserves a second chance, only if the circumstances are suitable for that. Most of the time, it doesn't work that way. Life goes on and everyone opens their new page(s) then writes new sentence(s). Moving on. That's what people do. And when a new life comes through and they are happy about it, do you think a past could hold them for what they have now?

When we made a brand new decision regarding our lives, that also means the drawer full of past are closed, locked, and the drawer's key must've been thrown away. Means: there are no "U-turn" anymore. No matter how bad you want it to take that turn, there's just no chance, and you yourself won't allow you to do such thing.

I believe that people do make mistakes, as they realised it, sometimes, there's just no second chance for them, there's only an irritating regret left behind. And there's nothing they can do about it other than joining to move on.

One lesson learned from today's tears. Don't you ever give up on something you know you need and want the most. Put away your ego. Put away your self-centered idea. Put away your fear and indecision. That moment. That time. Don't waste it. You never know if that only comes once in your lifetime.

So don't complicate it by hesitating.

This is tailor made. What's the sense in waiting?
