would you have known?

yesterday, i blew a situation out of proportion. what anyone would have consider as having my interest at heart, i had taken it out of context and made every possible disillusionment out of it as i could. bless my best friend's soul who snapped me out of cloud 99 and put my 2 feet back on the ground. what i was angry is not at the people who did not stand up for me, nor at the situation but rather at myself for not having the balls to stand up for the truth. thus thinking to save face and thinking i'm acting appropriately, that i actually sold myself out. i betrayed my own emotions and honesty. for what? nothing. eventually, still i have to be the one to mop the floor and clean the place up. so, why can't i have done it from the beginning and save everyone the hassle? then she reminded me that we wouldn't have known how to handle the situation at the point of time either, as it does not happen everyday, not like we had practiced it many times before. still, i felt it was a call of character to have done and spoken the right thing.
