Have you found yourself in the same situation before? Life is unpredictable, and there are times we ask ourselves what we have gotten ourselves into. However, the best thing you can do is deal with the situation with a positive and realistic outlook. Being frustrated is normal and expressing it at the moment is okay but don’t dwell too much on it.
