I've made so many rash decisions in the past in response to my emotions, and some turned out to be a lesson I learned the hard way. Some came in the form of quick judgement while others I reacted to anger. When I was a child, I'd refuse to eat because I was provoked, I'd decide to stay the entire day starving myself in order to prove that I was angry. According to my immature mind, I felt I was hurting them by not eating, when actually I was the one suffering from hunger. Sometimes I'll stay indoors hoping for them to come beg me to eat, unfortunately, they don't. However, I sneak in at night to eat, sometimes I discover the food was hidden, making me stay hungry all through the night and regretting why I refused to eat it.
My elder brother was the complete opposite, no matter how hard you make him angry, he doesn't deny food. He'll clearly tell you "it wasn't the food that provoked him". While we swell in anger, starving ourselves, he sits and eats even while angry. After some time I resolved to go with his principle, indeed it wasn't the food that got me angry, so why decide to put my anger on it while starving my stomach?.
It's a different ball game whenever I'm happy. I make promises when I'm overjoyed, and I'm the kind of guy who likes to keep my promises no matter how long it takes, I surely fulfil them. But most often it causes me some inconveniences, it alters my plans, stretches me, and makes me restless and this all comes from some minutes of joy. There's this little guy in me that whispers into my ear that I'm capable, and asks me to appreciate people with an instant deed or a promise whenever I'm happy. I've made such promises several times. But each time I tell myself I'll never make another promise, I find myself doing it and assuring myself I'd be fine. I still have some rolls of promises still pending and I hope I'd grow above the itching to display my emotions through deeds, worse, promises. The only advice I can give to an emotionally immature individual is not to allow their emotions to guide them, emotions are not always right. Think before taking action and that's the lesson I've learned over the years.
