Consequences
#WritcoStoryPrompt115

As a child, I never quite knew what to do with my life—much like everyone else, I guess. I tend to just go with the flow, carrying this internal pressure that never seems to let up. Asking questions scares me, and I often find myself struggling to solve the problems that keep haunting me.

In times of difficulty, my default is to blame others or external factors, anything to avoid pointing the finger at myself. Accepting that the consequences are a result of my own actions is something I struggle with.

Regret is a constant companion, whether the outcome is good or bad. I have choices, but making decisions is a challenge. Even when both options seem good, I can't shake the feeling that regret will follow, and I end up hating myself for it.

I've been lazy, with a bad attitude, filled with fear, and constantly under pressure. Hating myself for being lazy is an ongoing battle. I spend too much time in bed, and there are moments when I disrespect those around me. Ultimately, it's me who struggles, and it's taking a toll on my immune system. I tire easily, hindering my ability to do what I want. Realizing that health is wealth has been a recent wake-up call.

Being a good daughter or sister is tough for me. When I'm home, I find myself getting mad and occasionally disrespecting my parents, leading to regret. Fear and pressure leave me uncertain about the life I'm living. Success in my chosen field is a big unknown. I'm just someone who's afraid and pressured in life, and I can't help but hate myself for it. I keep wondering, when will I experience some character development?
