Second Chances

What if there were no second chances given? You would have one shot and one shot only. Would it make the situation easier or difficult?

         
Danielle Ingrum once said, “Give it all you’ve got because you never know if there’s going to be a next time.” There’s a time in ones life where second chances don’t happen, they only have one chance to overcome the situation and hope for the best and if all else fails, it sticks with the person and deals with the consequences. In my eyes, everyone deserves a second chance. When talking about relationships: they come and go, break ups and make ups, and for some than others always seem to turn back. That first phase of a relationship where everything is beautiful: every conversation is a laugh, a smile, the other persons smell becomes intriguing, every touch becomes an exhilarating feeling through out the body, leaving the person breathless. But unfortunately everything comes to an end. That first chance of love doesn’t always last. The pain is there but gradually fades away. Is their a second chance to love? We are human and it’s in are nature to go back and feel what’s right, giving another chance to start new, start fresh and become aware of the situation.

A second chance can reunite people and friendships. Troubled situations cause conflicts within people and aren’t able to cope with, and by giving another try, it could loosen the tension of the situation. First time tries are always intimidating, the first day on the job and first impressions become pressuring. It’s the first try to get the task done and hope to get it right. The pressures in life become difficult to cope with, wanting things too be perfect and get it right the first time.

Whether the confrontation between friends, coworkers‘, relationships and family, comes a point where theirs one chance to make things right because their might not be another time. Relationships come and go, and when given a second chance, it’s worth the while trying to make everything better again and create a new bond between two people. Just as friendships, meeting people throughout life and knowing every detail about that person; getting to know somebody isn’t a job, but a chance to meet someone new and keep a special place in one’s heart. But of course, every friendship isn’t perfect. Their are flaws in every aspect of any type of relationship, and that first encounter of a bond from someone else can make a big impact on ones life; not knowing when death will come and conflicting with companions can make a person realize that’s theirs precious time to not be wasted and their might not be another time of companionship.

Life is short. There are opportunities in life where they may not be established. But giving it another try or doing the best that there can be, may resolve into something good. Or maybe, just maybe a life changing experience.

  1. I really liked what you wrote. This shows a lot of your personality and opinions and i like how you said you would give someone a second chance, especially since i believe the same way and its important to remember all the good things that happened with a friend or family instead of one little fight. :)

  2. wow! This quote is very inspiring. I agree with you in giving a person a second chance because no one in this world is perfect. We have made mistakes before and we dont realize.and when it comes to someone else we dont want to give them another opportunity. EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE!!!!!!

  3. Alley I really enjoyed you're quote! You're use of rhetorical questions made me think of my own life and all the second chances I have ever gotten. I agree with you completely when you say life is short! Because before we know it will all be over. If it wasn't for second chances many of us would be left with anger and sadness and with that thought of what could have been.

  4. Alley D I really enjoyed reading this quote. I really agree with what you mean in how it is important to give a second chance, and to just not always plan in what is ahead of us in our future but just to let life happen how its suppose to happen.With sadness, happiness, and different types of situations for thats how life is! I really felt like I can relate to this quote in many ways in how I met important people in my life, but at the end many come and many go..its just how the cookie crumbles!

  5. So after reading your post i completely agree that everyone deserves a second chance, no ones perfect if they were pencils wouldnt have erasers on them! I recount all the times people have given me a second chance,a chance to learn from my mistakes a chance to be a better person and redeem my self in any possible way,and as for life its too short to linger on whats done and gone. You have to attack it day by day and make lemonade outta lifes lemons no matter how sour they can be.

  6. Hi Alley D! I really enjoyed reading your post! Also I totally agree with this post. Everyone deserves a second chance. Life is way too short to be holding to grudges, everyone deserves at least one second chance. I also agree with what you said about relationships and how they first start out. At first it's all about being amazed about each other. Well, overall great post! (Love the music playing along with your blog page)
