Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t.
I wish I could remember who gave me this piece of advice, because they deserve quite a bit of credit. Whomever it was said it many years ago, and as I’ve stumbled along through life I’ve found myself remembering those words on multiple occasions.
In life we meet many people and engage in many, many types of relationships. Every relationship, whether it’s friendship, romance, or the regular cashier who sells you a bagel and coffee every morning can be crashed and set ablaze. Trust me, I know. 
Sometimes we’re glad to end a relationship, sometimes we’re even glad to end it in an ugly fashion. But sometimes things falls apart whether we like it or not, no matter how hard we try to keep them from happening.
Now when things end ugly, often times one of you (or both of you) have engaged in very douchey behavior. If you’re not an actual douche, this means that you’ll feel bad later on and wish to make things better. Unfortunately life doesn’t have a rewind button and we can’t undo our fuck ups. In some situations we can make things better; however there are other times when we can’t. That’s when this advice comes in handy.
If ever in life you’re the guy who shit the bed you need to remember: sometimes you’re the asshole. You may want to fix things, but you should recognize when you can’t. Because at times the more you try to fix them, the bigger asshole you appear to be. Sometimes you can’t just kiss the boo-boo and make things better. When you recognize that’s the case, stop trying.
Whether we like it or not, there are times in life when the best thing to do is nothing. If it makes you feel better, the rest of us don’t think you’re an asshole. 
Well… the rest of them don’t… I do.
