Ring the Alarm

I often wonder how oblivious we all could be to such alarmingly obvious warnings. No matter how loud or obvious those signs could be, we still remain oblivious to it or choose to be ignorant. Even so, yet we wonder why we are bound to experience such horrid downfalls. How stupid can we get?

Yes, I did get a lot of warnings, a lot of advice and tons of Thumbs Down from so many people, but I was naive enough to think that perhaps, it could be different this time round. "I shouldn't care about the past. It's between us, it's all about how I am being treated like. I shouldn't care about how it was like before." How dumb. Enveloped with emotions and butterflies just caused me to lose my head and sanity and common sense. And also probably the ability to do things right.

I admit, yes, that I was mourning about it, and I didn't fathom that it would turn out this way. But right now, I wonder why I wasted time when from the start, I already received the hints and signs. I wasted time. I could have put my time to good use instead of mourning about it, foolish me. I can't say something like "If only if I had known about it earlier" because I DID knew about it back then, and still I went on with it. I am not blaming you, I am blaming me. You didn't let me down, I let myself down for letting you in.

A few individuals came up to me a couple of days ago wondering if it has already come to light to me regarding this, and they were nice enough not to shove a "I TOLD YOU SO" to my face. It was already meant to be short-lived, they were waiting to pull me back and hurry me away from further damage. I was lucky enough to experience it for only a little while, I believe this might have been so much harder on other people that went through the same ordeal, only for a longer period of time. For you lot, I raise my glass up high just for you.

To simply put it, I still thank you for this lesson, a reason for me to hop back into the game and see things under a different light now.

And you just received another Thumbs Down,  from yours truly.
