Life is full of choices & sadly no road map on how to make them or where they will take you.
The choices you make , you make basically blind.
If you make a wrong decision based on the information your given you get told what a "terrible" person you are and "how could you be so stupid" is usually a sentence used to describe you. The mistake you make that turns out to be wrong people take that mistake and basically sew it on to you forever like the scarlet letter. People are human. We make mistakes everyday, it's honestly something we are suppose to do. With mistakes we learn , sometimes there is a consequence to our mistake and sometimes the consequence is simply just feeling terrible about it.
No matter what mistake we make we usually feel guilty about it and wear the guilt like an over size coat that's way to big and heavy for us.
We apologize for our mistakes just like everyone else. We can only hope they accept it and if they don't there is nothing we can do.
We already feel bad enough without having people point at you like a pig at the state fair. Mistakes don't define you. You are not your mistakes. You are not the test you cheated on in 5th grade. You are not the punch you threw to a guy who was hitting on your girlfriend at a bar. You are not the words you spewed out to your mom when she tried to help you plan your wedding & she was getting everything wrong. You are you. You are not the mistakes you make. You should not be pinned for them for life. That is truly unfair. To anyone who will only look at you with the mistake you made written across your face even though you have apologized greatly, says more about them than you.
You are not the mistake you made.
So please don't carry it on your shoulder like a 15 pound of dog food.
