There is something I am so scared of being and that is, being embarrassed. In the past, I would do everything in my power just to avoid embarrassing situations; but it’s taking away my freedom.
Right now, I’m going to change that approach. I wanted to just accept the fact that it happened and I learned from those mistakes; I have to validate my feelings. The embarrassments I felt in the past turns out to be valid.
We all make mistakes. We want to run away from the truth, from shame, from disappointments, from vulnerabilities; sometimes, it’s too hard to accept what really happened, you don’t want anyone to know about it but they already knew. So just be honest with it, accept and let go.
I mean, it’s okay to laugh at it and move on; it’s actually just normal to make mistakes for humans. The guilt is there but it must not hold us back from trying again. If you act like a victim, you will constantly beg and seek for someone to have pity on you.
On the other hand, if you take responsibility of your own actions, and you acknowledge your mistakes; you’ll learn from it and it will help you grow and become better in the future. So, just face it and learn from it; running away will not really help. Also, gossips will just fade soon as they get over with it.
Accept what is and just keep moving forward. Some things happened for a reason. You just have to let it help you grow and learn more, so that next time, we’ll handle it better, way much better.
