🛏️ The Lesson of the Torn Pillow: Addressing Problems Before They Tear You Apart

You won’t believe just now just a few seconds ago, I learned one of the biggest lessons of my life and the next second i started to write blog on it, reflecting on what went wrong over the past two years with me.

I was just lying in bed when I noticed a big tear in my pillow. It hadn’t been there long ago — it started as a tiny hole just a few weeks back.

Before I knew it, that small hole had grown into a large tear in just a week. I tried to cover it with the pillowcase, but it kept getting bigger, especially when I checked on it.

This experience made me realize something important: whether it’s about relationships, bad habits, or anything else, ignoring small problems only makes them worse. No matter how much you try to hide or avoid them, they keep growing.

Once a problem gets big, it can never be the same as it was before. But if you tackle it early, it won’t get out of hand. Even if it seems big now, it’s still smaller than it will be in two or three weeks if not worked on it.

So, the key is to face the problem, solve it, fix it — whatever it takes. You’ll feel relieved and happy, and things will get better both inside and out.

I knew about this lesson, heard it from many people many times but the thing is this experience and realization which hits me now what it really means

My pillow couldn’t go back to how it was, but my problems could be fixed.

So I made a promise to myself: face problems early, before they become too big.
