I know my mistakes, but despite this, I still make the same ones.
I learnt from my past experiences, and yet I never changed.
But how can this be? If I have learnt from my mistakes then why do I make them? The answer is because it’s not easy.
People can say all they want about becoming a better person, but no one truly understands how hard that is. Most people have probably never truly attempted to be better.
Most people have never messed up so badly that they wish to change. It can take many voices before one person realises their errors, or it could take one little moment.
But it’s the next moment that decides if you’ve changed or not.
The next time you are in the same situation is when you get to prove if you are different or the same.
However, if you do make the same mistake again, then it isn’t your fault. If each time you notice the mistake you can acknowledge it, then you are making the first step.
You don’t have to suddenly change overnight, it’s hard to break out of habits.
A lot of people in this world expect instant change, sadly that isn’t possible. Change in people takes time, a lot of time.
It’s up to you to be patient with someone trying to change. You have to understand that they are doing what they can.
Now, there is the other side. Some people say they are trying to change but never do. How do you tell the two apart? You can’t. You can only trust in them and yourself.
If the mistake caused conflict in the group and nothing changes, then you’ll have to accept that something in the group needs to change, probably with someone leaving. But how do you go about doing this?
Well, start by being calm. Someone who is trying to change will probably react in a sad way to the decision. Whereas someone who was ‘trying’ to change may get angry. Both of these situations need a calm face from ideally both sides.
The best way to think of it is a break-up because a break-up is where mistakes happen the most. Regardless of the scale of the mistake, in a relationship that one thing can flip it all upside down.
It’s sad to have something end. It always will be.
But you have to acknowledge the change. Whether that change needs to be from you or from someone else, we all have to understand it.
The more understanding the world is, the better it will be.
I know my mistakes and I’m trying to change, but slip up. I can only hope that the next time I won’t. But if I do, then I need to understand and try again.
When I talk about change, I’m not talking about changing massively, I’m still myself and will always be. I’m me regardless of what other people think, and that’s how it should be. But if you want your life to change and a mistake is stopping that, then maybe you need to change something.
Thanks for reading, this was just a little post that I wanted to randomly write as a return, it’s a bit iffy in places as I’m rusty but I’m going to try and get back to uploading something, however, my upload schedule will be inconsistent.
