letters in the box

for when you make a mistake

Well...it happened.
You did something wrong, and you completely regret it (or you don't, that happens, but uh, maybe you're not really fit for this chapter about remorse and forgiveness....and I would reconsider your actions)

Mistakes are a part of life, how else do you learn? Trial and error.

And it's not how you make mistakes, it's about how you correct it that defines you.

It's okay to make mistakes, and if people can't accept that, they don't deserve to call themselves a friend and they don't deserve to be around you. If you make a mistake twice, it's no longer considered a mistake, but it's now a choice. And sometimes, those aren't okay. And you loose people that way.

Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to great places. I've always loved the quote, " Lost means you found something you weren't originally looking for."  So what you took the wrong turn, look around, there's a beautiful sunset over the horizon. Live in the moment, and allow yourself to be okay with wrong choices. Mistakes happen, they're apart of life. You can't sit around and regret every little thing you do that isn't right.

You shouldn't be ashamed of some choices either, own it and forget it. Learn from it and forget it. Don't waste time grieving over past mistakes. Learn from them and move on. It's the best advice for whenever anything goes wrong.

Don't get me wrong, one stupid mistake, and everything can change. BUT CHANGE IS GOOD. AND CHANGE IS OKAY. Don't hide or shield yourself from it, you have to learn to be okay with it or else you'll never be able to move on and grow from the situation. It may seem hard, but it's the first step. Remember, you are just a human and you make mistakes.
Life doesn't come with instructions. Every mistake you make is progress.
 If you make mistakes, it means you're out there doing something. And that's the best thing you can do, live your life. You're trying, because you're human, and you can do anything you set your mind to.

Keep requesting little notes, I'm getting back into these and I realize I have some catching up to do!
