Just when things started to look up, everything came crashing down....
Last week had to be one of the most regretful weeks thus far this year. It all started on tuesday, I was doing my usual check at the local Toys R Us for Star Wars action figures. I was really hoping that they had the Clone Wars styled Republic Gunship. As I looked at the array of items, non could be found. But then I looked all the way on top of the shelves and there they were. Still in there shipped boxes. So I asked an employee there if he could get one. Being sixteen and asking such a question can be awkward, but hey its what I love. So when I finally got it in my hand and gave it to the cashier, I looked at the price that came up and it was $45 plus tax. I was completely caught off guard being that I only had $39 on me so I couldnt purchase it. I was so dissapointed and I felt bad for getting the employee to bring it down for nothing.
So on the way home my mom offered to pay the difference, but i conflictingly refused because I was going to see my girlfriend this weekend so I didnt want blow all my money. This is where the trouble begins...
I called my girlfriend to see when she wanted to go out over the weekend, and she said that she was busy as she was last weekend. This bothered me alot. Even though we always went out on friday nights that would be the only time I saw her. She didnt even talk to me the whole night and she later broke up with me for reasons unfair and un-called for. All I could do at that point was to just leave which is exactly what I did. I was so upset, that a girl that I met completely by accident could just be gone like that. My sadness quickly turned to anger and hate for what she put me through.
So then later on sunday I went back to Toys R Us to try and find the gunship, and it was nowhere to be found. I was so upset, over the fact that they had run out only after 5 days since I once held it in my very hands.
And I still regret not following my passion for a girl that wasn't worth it.
So my advice to you is to follow what you
really love regardless of the situation and you shall succeed. Though realizing what you
really love can be very difficult at times.
