Keep in mind that a character might have a realization that turns out to be false.
If she met someone like the person she used to be, she’d feel nothing but envy.
If he met someone like the person he used to be, he’d feel nothing but scorn.
The person she believed was honorable was anything but.
His marriage or other relationship isn’t worth saving.
Ending his relationship was the biggest mistake of his life.
She made the exact same mistake her mother made.
He’s lived up to his father’s legacy.
Just because the rest of his family lived a certain way doesn’t mean he can’t expect better.
Although he makes a lot of excuses, his real problem is that he’s lazy.
She’s no longer faking it.
The end of the relationship wasn’t his fault at all.
The end of the relationship was all her fault.
What he thought was a bad break turned out to be a blessing.
What she thought was a dream come true turned out to be a nightmare.
She’s the friend that people call only when everyone else is busy.
There’s no way for him to help someone who’s ruining her life, because she isn’t inclined to change.
It doesn’t matter how competent he is at work; to succeed, he has to learn better social skills.
It’s okay to ask for help.
Living up to other people’s expectations isn’t working out at all, and it’s time for her to do what makes her happy.
His son, daughter, or parent is a bad person.
She no longer believes in the religion in which she was raised.
He’s embraced a new faith or has found his faith again.
The adults in her life are making it up as they go along, just like she is.
Being an adult doesn’t mean she has to abandon the things she loved as a kid.
To a large degree, he can choose to be happy.
She’s an addict.
He’s not as smart or talented as everyone told him he was when he was a kid.
Although people put her down all the time when she was a kid, she’s actually quite smart or very talented.
Although she thinks of herself as a sarcastic person with a heart of gold, she’s actually a real jerk.
He’s way too hard on his spouse or child.
She no longer has friends.
He’s actually made a real friend.
She’s fallen in love.
Although he has some athletic talent, he’ll never be a professional sports player.
Her wild daydream isn’t so wild… it’s possible that she could actually attain it.
He’s become obsessed with a topic or activity.
There’s nothing in her life that she’s really passionate about. She’s just drifting along.
Her child is now an adult.
What happened to him wasn’t his fault.
He loathes his chosen career.
He is never going to love her.
She is never going to get over him.
She’s missed out on a lot of things by giving up on herself too easily.
He’s missed out on a lot of things by being afraid to take action in the first place.
It’s time for him to quit and cut his losses.
She needs to make her family a priority.
He’s forgiven him.
She’s forgiven herself.
He needs to stop taking life so seriously.
Despite the heartbreak or loss she suffered, the best part of her life might still be ahead of her.
