I made a mistake. I can’t change it and that eats away at me inside. I think (know) I’m a little bit crazy. Things bother me. Like my hair, I can’t stop pulling it. I stopped for a while when I cut it a few months back, but apparently it’s long enough again and I’ve caught myself doing it many times every day. Sounds bother me, and heat. I wanted to scream and just run out of my class because of the squeaking chairs and the unbearable heat and all of the people. Ahh it was horrible. Thinking about it makes me sick. Anyways, as I said I’ve made a mistake, and whatever it is in my brain won’t let it go. I can rationalize and be logical and realize it’s (probably) not a big deal. My life path is probably irrelevant to that one choice. But what if it’s not. What if this one choice leads to another little choice that’s not good and it just snowballs until I shoot myself in the face, or jump off a cliff? I don’t know that’s not the case, no one does and they never will. If it ends up that way, I’ll never know what sent me down that path. I just wish I could change things. I want a do-over. There’s no such thing as a second chance. Everything is hauntingly permanent in this world.

Okay, mistakes can have large ramifications, but you still have the freedom to make better choices in the future.
I know, but I can’t change the one that matters. It just feels like now I’ve gone and fucked myself over, you know? God I just wish this was a dream and I could wake up.
Why can’t you change it? Did you kill someone or something?
What mistake did you make?
@muspelhem well you can’t change anything in life.
And I don’t feel particularly up to discussing it with you right now Ali
That’s bull. Of course you can.
Come on just tell me if it’s my fault.
Nope, days pass and things change. You can improve, sure, but you can never change what’s been done.
And why would you think it’s your fault? It’s not. I make my own choices.
I definitely did not see the word ‘if’ in there haha. No, it’s not your fault.
If you dumped someone, take them back.
No, it’s not like that. It’s not something I can take back, I wish it was. No apology can undo it. Irreconcilable I guess.
in one sentence, what did you do?
too long for a sentence, but i emailed you
Just tell me
