The Human Race

I once read a quote that said that people are complicated and we rush to grow up and then when we do, we wish we were young again. They said we anxiously think about the future, forget to live in the present, and constantly think about mistakes in the past. Were too afraid to take chances, pass them up, & then when it’s too late we get angry for not taking it or trying harder. Sometimes we don’t speak up when something’s bothering us. Sometimes we want attention and go off to the side alone hoping someone will come over & ask what’s wrong but if no one does we feel worse. We’ll do something to someone and get mad when they do it to us, sort of like hypocrites. Sometimes when were sad we listen to sad songs to remind of us of the sadness so we get even sadder. People also deny the very pleasure we have wanted once it’s in our reach. That is the way of people to want something and then act like they don’t just for someone to try harder to give it to them. But they find themselves beyond angry because no one did try harder to give them the thing they rejected as if they didn’t want it. Simply because they can’t say yes, refuse to yes, and won’t admit the answer is yes when they mean yes. I am a person myself and I admit I’ve done these things but I have no reasoning’s why. In the end we regret chances we didn’t take, relationships we were too afraid to be in, and decisions we waited too long to make! If I’ve gathered any information about people it’s that we are complicated and complex in every way. Maybe if we weren’t so scared and just did things we would be so much better off, because it’s like my mother says “A chance is a lot like a picture, it would be so nice if you just took it.”
