Everyone makes bad choices despite all the wise words from mum. In other words, everyone screws up sometimes, even those people who seem to just float through life with success and glory without any visible blunders. Well, that´s just an illusion. The key is to pretend as if everything´s fine (in Finnish: olla kuin ei oliskaan) because when you do that, you actually start believing your screw-up didn´t matter or it never happened. And voilà: you´re over the whole thing and life goes on.
The truth is (yes, as the dictator of my blog I can say what the truth is) that people just don´t learn from other people´s mistakes as handy as it would be. You always think it´s different in my case because I´m so cool and I´m on top of things... Well, it turns out you can´t know some things before you experience them on your own. No matter how obvious, like licking a frosty lamp post in winter. You just have to try it yourself.
And you know, it´s okey. As that´s how life teaches us lessons and we can swallow our pride and be better people again. There´s no success without failure. Annoying isn´t it... It´s important, though, to remember your mistake on some level but not let it weigh you down.
Reminds me of a Shameless episode (check out this series, it´s awesome) where Frank founds out, from a false source, that he´s dying. He records a tape where he makes all kinds of nasty confessions. When it turns out he´s not really dying, it´s too late... Someone´s seen the tape already! Hilarious. Not in real life though.
I did get my tongue stuck on an ice cold anvil many years ago. I have never done it again.
