The Problem Was in Me!

 

In recent days, I realized something and felt something that I have been avoiding for the longest time. Whenever my parents have tried to say something about my addiction, I would feel offended because I think that it’s my problem and it only affects me, so why should they care? I thought that they were selfish because they didn’t want to look at things from my side, but today I understood that it is the opposite, and I was the selfish one. I didn’t look at the situation from their perspective at all. My actions did affect them, and I take responsibility for it. I also saw how immature I was behaving.

I used to always think that I was very mature for my age, but my actions and behaviors weren’t appropriate for that. I was thinking in one way, but behaving in another way.

Another thing that happened was that I became more aware of my surroundings, and I'm very happy about that.
