The first reckless act of my life was when I was five years old, but at the time I didn't see it that way, but rather as a way of defending myself.
In life, mistakes are made, and as long as you learn from them, it's worth it. Sometimes those mistakes take the form of recklessness. I don't remember doing anything insensitive, since I am so sensitive that I take that very seriously, but if I did, it really wasn't my intention. But looking back on my long life... it's been many years, and I can see that I have made reckless decisions that could have had very bad consequences. Fortunately, that was not the case.
The first reckless thing I did was confront my father when I was only five years old. On that occasion, he was shouting at me too much, which is why I don't like shouting, and he asked me where my mother was. She was at a kindergarten meeting, which he never attended. I confronted him by looking him in the face. I was only five years old and didn't think about what he might do, because he is a sadistic and perverse person with a violent streak. It could have ended badly. But an angel protected me.
Another reckless act I remember was when I was older. I really liked a boy, too much, but I didn't know him very well and he invited me to go to a tourist town for the weekend. His family was going too. My family didn't agree, but they agreed.
The recklessness was that I didn't know those people and I didn't use my head. I guess it was teenage recklessness and whims. I didn't even know what kind of people they were, and I went there for two days. The worst thing that happened was that I didn't have fun, I felt lonely and different, even though the family was nice. In the end, over time, it didn't work out. That taught me to use my head more... it was a long time ago, I think in another life.
The third big reckless thing I did in my life was to risk my health. It was a very complicated and extreme situation. The second job I took here in Spain, at first I didn't know what it was, it wore me out physically, putting me in a dangerous situation. I ate poorly and little, I hardly drank any water, and I was away from home for more than 12 hours a day, walking the streets trying to sell telephones.
Now that I know about it, I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone, but at the time I had to do it. It was reckless, yes, and I looked for ways out, but everything got complicated. When I quit, I was very weak for a long time. I weighed 48 kilos and was on the verge of being admitted to hospital. I did wrong, but desperation sometimes makes us do crazy things.
All these actions taught me to be more cautious, to think more and to take good care of myself. Putting yourself first is not being selfish, it is being well so that everything else is well. I wonder how many things I still have to learn... undoubtedly many.
If they help us improve, reckless actions are life lessons, as long as we realise it. This topic and other very interesting ones are raised by @galenkp in the weekend topics.
Thank you all for reading today, I wish you a very good weekend. See you soon. Amonet.

Childhood and adolescence are those stages of life in which you act first and then think. And, it's not bad because these adolescent recklessnesses prepare you for life.
Confronting your father was an act of bravery and perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back.
Going out with someone you liked even though you didn't know him was following an instinct and an act of rebellious sovereignty at that stage of your life.
On the other hand, selling the phone was an unpostponable necessity because perhaps the satisfaction of your primary needs depended on it.
But each of these imprudences taught you to value life, family, to act with prudence and objectivity.
Oh, and, I don't think I'm an insensitive person either.
Happy weekend to you.
Cheers and best regards
What you mention is another way of looking at things. Everything turned out well, and I took many risks. Thank you for reading my entire post. I really appreciate it, and thank you very much for your kind words. Have a wonderful day! 💗

Hello, dear friend @avdesing, good afternoon.
You have a lot of character to stand up to your father at such a young age. That was very brave of you.
Life is a continuous learning process; it's normal for imprudent behavior to happen in the process.
The important thing about this is that you gain experience.
I really appreciate you sharing these experiences.
Have a wonderful afternoon.
My father is complete darkness... it was risky, but at that moment it turned out that way. Thank you very much!
Hi! What a great post about recklessness, ha ha ha, but it's often part of life. I think almost all of us have done the first thing you mention, especially at that age, but neither the second nor the third has ever happened to me. We all have different ways of messing up, ha ha ha. You did the right thing in leaving that job. Health and peace of mind come first.
Perhaps it is the different circumstances of life that we have to face, and we always learn from them. Thank you very much!!!🤗🤗🤗
Hi @avdesing, we've all done reckless things. But in your last example I think it is far from reckless behaviour. Simply the payment of a responsible and newly arrived woman in a strange country. Sometimes choices are not free.
A big hug.
It's true, there are all kinds of circumstances... it was a very difficult time. Thank you!!!🤗
Good morning @avdesing. Thanks to you for sharing your experiences. Happy Sunday!
It's a pleasure, someone may read it and help. Have a great Sunday!!!!!
Hasta luego 👋

Life is about continuous learning. Mistakes? We'll always make them. The question is how we process them, how we learn from them.
Exactly, that's right. Thank you very much!
Yes, Amonet, "If they help us improve, reckless actions are life lessons". Unfortunately, there are reckless people who do not learn from their reckless actions and then suffer the consequences.
It is true that many people repeatedly make the same mistakes or errors, and this has consequences for many. Thank you very much!
Good morning! I believe what truly matters, as you rightly point out, is to focus first on oneself, to preserve and care for one's own well-being, in order to give more and better later on. What happened with that boy... it could’ve easily been the opposite. It just happened that in that moment you needed to learn something, and the two of you weren’t meant to be. 😉
Years later, I thought... what a relief... a very selfish and egocentric boy, I couldn't have been with someone like that. Thank you, Nani!
Siempre es un placer leerte y saludarte. 🤗 Lindo domingo.
Thank you very much!!! Have a wonderful day!!😃
Greetings @avdesing, adolescence is that stage where emotions run high and we're prone to making mistakes. We may not see it that way at the moment, but they're lessons that help us grow.
Have a great week!
Yes, that's right, I've learned a lot. Thank you very much!!!🤗
