Have you ever realised you made a mistake, but you were too far into it that you couldn't just pull out, you had to see the mistake to its inevitable conclusion?
i think so. i have done enough things that i am sure that has happened, but usually i don't consider it a mistake. like making the reality section of this website, toward the end i was like "holy smokes, this took a long time, and it has delayed everything else" and even now, i continue to get lectures for why i am not done with the 'next history video' and probably the main reason is because i spent 3 months making the reality pages, and sometimes i think 'holy smokes' what if i didn't do all that. but it still wasn't a mistake, i had to do it and i am glad i did it then instead of later
