THE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF EMOTION-DRIVEN DECISIONS

Hello amazing people of the Scifi community. It is another beautiful moment to express my emotions and feelings with my fingers on the keyboard.
This is an interesting topic to write about honestly. And this is because on several occasions I made decisions that made me happy or sad (mostly sad). And I believe many out there have similar experiences in the past or even presently. So in this prompt I will be sharing one of my experiences I had which hurt my feelings for a very long period of time. It’s a mistake I wished never happened though. I actually wish I was emotionally mature then, but I believe everything happens for a reason.

So, in a nutshell, the whole story was about how I silently broke up with my first girlfriend all because I needed to focus on my studies. I felt she was a distraction to me because I used to think about her a lot. Most times when I tried to study I found myself lost in thought of her. I love her so much but I couldn’t just trade my studies for anything, not even my relationship. So what I did was to cut her off silently without even telling her that this was what I was going through. Little did I know that I was acting based on emotions, and unfortunately I wasn’t emotionally mature then.

I felt bad afterwards. I wish I was able to handle the situation better, probably by discussing my condition with her to get her advice or opinion on the best way to handle it. But unfortunately I chose to handle it my own way which later hurt us both, most especially I who made the decision. I really felt bad about it but the deed has been done. Sadly for me it was already late when I realised my mistake and tried to make up for it. By then she had moved on and I couldn’t get her attention again because she was deeply hurt by my actions.

In conclusion, I must say I made that terrible decision because I wasn't mature enough emotionally. Therefore I would advise anyone in this situation to stay calm and always communicate their feelings to their partner as that will help them think and come up with a tangible solution together. As the saying goes "Two good heads are better than one"

Thanks for going through my submission and I hope it's worth your time. I would like to also invite @rishagamo @oluthomas and @katezauka to also participate in the prompt for the week with the link below;
