The feeling of committing a mistake and realizing it later when you can do absolutely nothing about it is devastating. Really, it's a third degree form of regret, the worst there is. Nothing stops you from thinking about you in an alternate universe- "what if". This 'what if' ruins life. Trust me, one can ponder about it for days at stretch and not run out of positive what if scenarios. The shattering part is that no one really cares. No one can really understand the intensity, those who do, fake it. The close ones may listen to you a few times, but those hearings usually end with a "Move on, life's too long blah blah...". Come to think of it, I would say the same thing too to someone else. And well, after these few times, they stop listening too (which is okay really). What's left is the person, his what if scenarios and probably a little whiskey.
There is nothing in the world that I could find solace thinking about when I am stuck in this web of parallel universe scenarios, absolutely nothing. It is deep, extremely personal, and outright damaging. I say damaging because this entire thought process is time consuming and diminishes your self esteem, because you compare yourself to the perfect 'you'. Well yes, you really can't change the past but the future is in your hands bullshit takes you only so far. The affected person becomes so over cautious in life, that he over thinks everything to the point of squeezing the juice out of life.
Damn, I have made a lot of mistakes, I have sat, observed myself and at times backed myself for the ongoing mistake. Self destruction at its worst.
Whoever you are, whatever you do, that parallel universe image of yours will haunt you forever, sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the bad.
Mostly bad.
