Erase the mistakes... possible?
#WritcoStoryPrompt125
Write a short story about how much easier it is to fix mistakes on a word processor or computer than it is in real life.
Once I was writing about few things I did in my life that I regret till date. It took me a while to list down the things because as a person I was always very careful about my surroundings. I had a very rigid sense of rights and wrongs. I was very cautious about my actions because I had heard a lot of stories from other people of how every action has its consequence, and I didn't want to be a part of that club. But one day, without even realising, I topped the charts. I was doing things that I had never even thought of, I didn't even know I had it in me to be that way. I was living frivolously, I was being stupidly bold, I was flying high. The experience was exhilarating, but all the decisions made were foolish. Today when I sit down and think about my life from 8 years back, I realise that I pushed my luck too far in experimenting with things that I didn't have an appetite for. If something had gone wrong then, I'm not sure how I would have managed that situation because I had left all my friends and family behind. I wanted to be free from all the shackles as I was living my life on my terms for the first time. It wasn't scary at all. At that time it was adventurous, exciting and beautiful too in its own way.
Then once I gathered all points and started typing, I made so many small errors in spellings, grammar, punctuations. But I could rectify them all. In fact it was easier because the mistakes in computer writings get highlighted without even you asking for it. Wish life could give us second chances too to correct our mistakes. If it does, I would love to erase the year 2015-16 from my life's book and live it again the way I would actually have. Not everyone has a heart to bear the consequences of ones actions. I am still paying for it!
