Too Little, Too Late

Daily writing prompt
What life lesson did you learn too late?

What is a life lesson that I learned too late? The simple fact that other people will often painfully complicate your life.

Much too late did I learn this. I have written before about the misery of trying to fill the emptiness of my life with the presence of some woman, only to discover that I was truly just a solitary individual. I had been trying to use romantic relationships to compensate for something that was never actually deficient. All these people brought me nothing but more misery. They contributed nothing positive to my life, and I am sure they feel the same about me.

However, this is what they call a “Catch-22“: while other people can and frequently do bring you frustration and misery, they can also provide you with meaningful companionship and shared joy.
