Life Lessons Suck

It wasn't supposed to be a life lesson but I learned it anyway. Sometimes following your instincts and being yourself is the right answer. I messed up in my interpersonal relationships panicking. I shouldn't have been so reserved. I should have been a more apt support system. But I was scared. I hadn't been in for anyone in a while and didn't know how to operate. The damage is done and I already lost but I won't lose like this again. I will make other mistakes I'm sure ... but never like this again.
