My roommate & I have an ongoing joke, that God listens to our conversations & takes note. Every single time we start a sentence with "I would never"... BOOM, we're tested & shown, that we sure as heck would.
Time & Time again, I've been forced to swallow my words & found myself in predicaments I claimed I never would.
An example:
Something I've claimed- "I would never continue talking to a guy after I found out he's been with someone else"
500 text, 200 calls later... :::eh I can explain?::
You see, the reality of it is, we never know what we would do or not do until push comes to shove. You can assume a lot of your actions, but its only in the heat of the moment when every single inch of you is involved. That's when you know what you would or would not do. & that's when you do or don't do it. (That thing you kept claiming)
It's human nature to judge the actions of others, mostly because as an innocent bystander you think of all the things "you would do in the situation" (or mostly hope you would do).
But. Again.
It's easy to detach yourself from something & analyze it when you have zero to lose.
I'm the first to admit I'm a walking contradiction. My feelings & opinions change practically on a daily. Experiences continually change my views on a variety of things. It's just something that continues happening with age. What mattered so much before, doesn't so much anymore. Our decisions prove that.
So I stopped saying never, or for the most part, I continue to say things like I'd never date a midget & I'm still waiting for the day I fall in love with one.
But, I hold my tongue a lot more now. I stop myself from judging a situation I've never been in. Mostly because I've learned too many times that I don't know shit.
& you don't either
Xoxo
-signs that girl that learned never is around the corner
