The Reality of Making Mistakes

I guess the reality of it all doesn't get to you till you sit down, really think about it and then in a nano-second, your thoughts become blurry and you feel a twitch of pain, that cuts deep into your heart. The impact of the reality doesn't just walk up to you, knock on your door and present you with a flowery card. No.

It comes flying towards you and slaps you right in the face. And at that point, you can't do anything to stop it, except to panic and cry. Because seriously, how many of us can really block those thoughts away with a simple turn of a head?

We're all human. We all make mistakes. But what happens when you make a mistake that can change your life entirely? One mistake that can change all your plans, your hopes, your dreams? What if that mistake represents you and your life?

And sure, people say mistakes happen, and just DON'T DO IT AGAIN. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKE. But, what if you can't? After all, isn't there another saying, "Once a thief, always a thief?"

Then, what if let's say, the mistake has been made, and you've managed to overcome it, what if it haunts you for the rest of your life? Can you imagine going through life, living a lie? Living the life of a cheater?

What do you do in situations like such? Do you shrug it off, have a freaking chocolate ice cream and watch the sunset, dream about diamonds and gold?

I'm just thinking, why do people make mistakes, which they know they will regret, and then of course, they later regret, when the sensible thing to do is not to do it in the first place, thus not having to regret about making the mistake?
