only the hard way.
face it, we don't learn unless we go through it ourselves, and prove the theories right, that we gain our experience, and that we can proclaim we have learnt.
if you're not doing something because someone told you it's wrong, and therefore you don't get hurt, burnt or gain something out of that matter, then you cannot say you've learnt your lesson, because you never went through it.
we all know as head knowledge that words can hurt, especially when you don't think about what you say. and the meaning of that is never real untill someone hurts you with what they say. a simple act of loving kindness never seems warm untill it's done unto you by someone you don't know, someone who loves you for the very basic humanitarian reason of being a fellow human being.
our parents tell you that dating young has no good to it, cause you would probably not work out, you would make stupid decisions, and you would end up hurt.
if you're one of those who've chose not to date because of what your parents tell you, good for you that you've listened to them. no questions. just a nod of approval that you obey them.
for those of you who've tried, and if what your parents have said came true, then good for you that what they said came true. it makes them even more credible as parents right? but you see guys and girls, you have experience to fall back upon, and the next relationship you step into, whether it works out or otherwise, you would see that you indeed have grown, (i seriously pray you have!) especially in your mental capacity of handling certain issues. what seemed like a dream in that last relationship would seem more real now since you're older, and you're even closer to the harsh realities of life. take marriage for example. when you're 16, it seems so far away, but when you're 26, it's a different story isn't it? that's what i call growth.
learn your lessons well, don't waste your time trying to unlearn them. there's no way to do that. and last but not least, be thankful for those lessons learnt. they all contribute to making you who you are.
thank you.
