Acknowledging, Accepting, and Taking an Action: Twitter Edition

I actually was wondering what could be the most suitable title for this entry. However, I decided to keep it like this and proceed ⚓️

My dear reader, you might be wondering what this whole brain dump is about. Even, what the hell is “Twitter Edition”?

Is it about letting go stuff that you couldn’t change? or maybe accepting things that you couldn’t control? Or move on from the apologies that you never got?

One thing I picked up as days pass is that things never go exactly how we want. It’s either better or worse, but never exactly what we pictured. And that’s actually kind of cool. Sometimes life surprises us in a good way, right? That’s what we hope for.

But that’s actually great, things can turn out to be better than we ever expected, right? that’s what we came for at the end.

You are now thinking that I would be talking about my personal life the rest of the article but hell no, who am I to do such a thing…

However, this twitter version was actually intended to be less formal than Linkedin’s version and no draft checks with friends. Even though I’m already against all that corporate talk on LinkedIn, I still felt like this needed its own space.

Damn, this is a very big intro and I didn’t even say what am I going to talk about today. Well, here’s the thing.

A few days ago, I did a silly mistake, with no context what was the mistake, when, or where. However, it was really silly that I got embarrassed from my self.

No one got hurt, no one even noticed, I think. But I looked in the mirror and thought man, you’re better than this. That shouldn’t have happened so easily.

You would imagine yourself, and say yeah whatever happens, just let it go, time’s gonna pass (it is), there’s nothing you can do about it. And then you find yourself holding a lot, and it’s not just one thing, it’s work, life, friendships, everything. but if you opened that door, its gonna be a real chaos, so you would rather keep it shut

You now understand why I called it explicitly Twitter’s version.

Anyways, eventually this door will open, sooner or later. and it will shall reveal a lot about who you used to be.

However, they always said that in order to release yourself, you have to acknowledge what has went wrong, accept the consequences, and move on.

However, I hate the part that we have to move and just letting things go. “Yeah I should have paid more attention to this thing, just learn and never do this again” “Yeah I should have prepared more, but it’s okay don’t be harsh on yourself. It’s not gonna take you anywhere”, but how about taking an action, reader?

It’s funny how many times we need to relearn the same lesson. But hey, at least we’re learning.

You would think that moving on is an action, but isn’t it just avoiding things? I mean even staying silent could be an action, but how long does it gonna take for you to stay silent instead of taking a real action towards the consequences of your acts, reader?

Well, the hardest part here is not taking an action. But sticking and being consistent to it. You could say I am gonna do X because I am very weak at Y, but are you really gonna stick to it? and how long?

However I feel relieved for that conclusion, even if I didn’t like it or was forced on the actions that I took. It was for the better good, right?

Anyways, my dear reader. The real question is, when you ignored the action. Is that what you really wanted? Or was it what you felt you had to do?
