Journal 63: Impulse

Impulsive actions, something I use to do all the time and more than seventy percent of the time resulting in a bad situation. Impulsive actions, by definition, are actions that do not get mentally processed before being performed. However that is not true. You do think about your impulsive actions however the force that makes you perform the action over powers your brain. I have gotten into arguments and fights with friends over the most idiotic things. Why? Because they were impulsive. I knew what the actions would result to but I did seem to care. I went with it and started to scream at my friend. He was caught off guard and had no idea what was going on. I am pretty sure that he thought I was crazy. We ended up not speaking for over two months. We could hardly survive a day in school without talking before. Now I have learned from that I think before every action I take but there are still times when the impulse to do something over powers my mental will of going against it.
