In my life one event sticks out to me as my greatest regret, that left me with a feeling of absolute dread and a crushing feeling of regret. One person had me put everything aside for her, at all times of the day and like a fool I let it happen. Looking back at it, I shouldn't have let her have so much power over me, however I was and I still am young and naive.
I guess I should stop talking in riddles and give a little back story. There was this girl I knew since I was seven years old. She and I went to the elementary school, P.S. 304, where I had some of the best times that I barely remember. I didn’t know her that well at the time, but I remember talking to her a few times and her bringing in cupcakes and snacks for her birthdays, yes …show more content…
I was so head over heels for this girl I almost went to Long Island University, a far worse school than Niagara University, my first choice, just so I could stay in the city. However because Niagara University was my first choice and ended up going there. I feel really stupid for this and you may judge me when I say this, but this is a fact, I am very popular here at NU. I was given numerous opportunities to lay in bed with various women throughout my first and it continued a little into of my second semester. Me being so hung up on this girl, who was still texting me late at night saying things like “I miss you”, and “when will you be back?” So I ended up passing all of those opportunities. Some of the girls I turned down were drop dead gorgeous and I was trying to be loyal to a girl I wasn't in a relationship …show more content…
In my friend Blake and Shawn’s words "never let anybody have power over you like that except for God". I let a woman influence my actions to such an extreme degree and I put her over me -for nothing. Even if I got in a relationship with her, the mentality I had of putting her over me, was certain to get me hurt in the long run. Another lessons I learned from that was, in life you will get hurt by others and you end up hurting others. I'm no saint I have hurt others, however it was in a different way and I was provoked in most of those situations. The lesson I learned that others may disagree with, is that in most situations is always a winner and a loser, and in instances it doesn’t apply than one person benefits more than the other. In that instance, I was obviously the loser there was no mutual benefit, she had a person to solve her problems and talk to, I lost time in my life. One last lesson I learned, but yet to put in practice, is to stop being a nice guy, the nice guy ends up used and in the friendzone. I don't have to be a jackass, I can still be nice, but I cannot allow myself to be nice at all times. I have to learn to be selfish and do things for my benefit and ignore people who aren't me or with
