It’s been a fucked up month to say the least, and there’s still a week to go until it it ends. I am well aware that most of the tribulations that happened could’ve been avoided if only I did the things I should’ve been doing in the first place.
Long story short: I delegated things I should’ve taken care of personally, I asked favors from people I should’nt have been asking, and I became too generous and over-estimated people’s propensity to take a free lunch… and invite others.
I already know that everything has a price, and every favor must be repaid. I know that if I want something done right I should do it myself. I know I have to be stern and in some cases blatantly straightforward when communicating with people to avoid misunderstandings… Still I find myself in this very stressful situation.
Maybe I’ve became complacent, presumptuous, and naive for things to havecome this far. But like I always say, normally people don’t change the err of their ways until the shit hits the fan. Never mind the financial loss, or the time and opportunities missed. What concerns me is how jaded one must become in-order to be self-sufficient, independent and successful in life.
On the bright sight, I know I have to cut my losses and move on. I know I’ll have to shoulder more responsibility and take on more negative criticism in the immediate future, but you have to do what you have to do.
