Wet paint

There is no point in trying to make some things better.

When you try to fix a messy, wet paint job, it almost always makes things worse. No matter how hard you try, or what else you layer on, it won't get better. The best thing you can do with that messed up paint job is to wait, let it dry, and come back and try to fix the problem at a later time. So often I am found trying to address my real life issues right the moment they happen, and sometimes this isn't the best case scenario. But, all in painting terms of course, if I mess up my painting and get a towel and wipe up the mess immediately, I don't end up having to wait the extended period of time to get my mess resolved. In my life, some things need the quick fix, and then they're all better. Other instances need to let the original coat of paint dry before I even make an attempt to clean it up. And then some, even more complex, need to also allow all of the other additional smears, wipes, attempt-to-fix-the-screwup coats dry as well. It's hard to fathom, but understandable, sometimes you have to drift apart before you can drift back together.
