A Lesson in Self-Prioritization
Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed with regret, wishing I could undo certain decisions I've made in life. It's a painful realization when you understand that your own desires were more suitable than the expectations of others, including loved ones. When decisions turn out to be both happy and sad, we often see that the alternative path would have been better. At least then, we wouldn't have the weight of responsibility. Now, I'm burdened with the duty to care for others, yet I'm helpless to do so because of the choices I made, prioritizing others' opinions over my own. I've come to realize that I should have put myself first, regardless of how others might judge me. It's not necessary to sacrifice our own will just to gain approval from loved ones. In hindsight, I understand that considering my own needs and desires wouldn't have been selfish, but essential. If only I could go back in time, I would choose differently, but for now, I'm left to navigate the consequences of my decisions, hoping to find a way to reclaim my own happiness and autonomy.
