people make drastic decisions based on what they are feeling right now-in that moment. And when ‘emotional’ is what they are feeling, often times decisions derived from emotions are not that typically sound and of a solid mind kind.

What happens next?
In the morning time from that moment, birds begin to chirp, the sun comes up and you see that first random person walking down the street when you take a peek out of your curtain. After that, there will be several throughout your day (whether you are sitting and mourning or whether you have to get out and about the hustle and bustle of life).
The point of the matter is…it’s like I said earlier: ‘Life won’t permit the sit.’
So whether you are sitting there in the dark still mourning and
