Who Knew? ♥

I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh, that's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong

But they knew better
Still you said forever and ever
Who knew? Yeah yeah

Who Knew-- Pink


The truth is, we always have choices. The issue is not looking back, and saying 'who knew I'd be here?' The real issue is we did know, that if we made certain choices, it would lead us here. I know I did, I just may have chosen to ignore the consequences, or didn't realize how serious the consequences were. But for every action there is a direct and equal reaction.

If I knew THEN, what I know NOW, this saying truly frustrates me. I've said it times and times again, but do we really mean it? NO. How many of us, have done something wrong, and recall saying to ourselves, 'man, I wish I would have listened to my parent's'. We've all said it, because that's reality. So that saying frustrates me, because in a way, we always know before we do something, what COULD happen. I truly believe, that we just always think we're the exception to the rule. To every damn rule. I'm throwing that 'thought process' out the window, because I am not the exception, in most cases, I've been the rule. If I wasn't the rule, I couldn't even write this blog. I'd have no experiences to speak of; My mistakes, are what keep you all coming back, and my honesty to lay it out there for everyone to read, criticize, relate, and learn from.

I am not ashamed for the mistakes I've made, and you shouldn't be either. There are no regrets, only lessons learned. (If you haven't, read 'No Regrets; Just Lessons Learned')I am 21 years of age, and I've learned so many things thus far:

Losing a friend, hurts just as badly as them 'passing'
Falling in love with a guy, who never truly loves you back, does a lot to your self-esteem.
Sex can be just sex, and in a lot of cases, if your giving it up, you're the only one losing out.
Getting caught up with the wrong crowd, can lead you in paths you never wanted to go down.
Self-love is the BEST love.
I am not the exception; but I am the RULE.

These are some of the lessons, there's a lot more, and I know there will be even more to come. Only this time, I'm smarter, and can spot a situation that isn't the best for me, a mile away. I hope you all can to. I don't want to look back, and ask myself 'who knew?' anymore. There's always signs, we either choose to see them, or we choose to ignore them. Either way, it's a choice. Choose wisely.
