I felt like someone needed to hear this, I know I did; so here we go. Just because it didn't work out, just because it was wrong doesn't mean it was a mistake. I know it sounds crazy but just hear me out. The road we walk is the path we're on for a reason. Every single step you've taken has got you to this moment. Every smile and laugh, every stumble and fall, every "mistake" that you have made has made you into the person you are today. And maybe you're not a fan of who you are right now; but in that remember that your journey isn't over yet, you still have steps to take and "mistakes" to make. I look back on my life and there are a million things I would've done differently. If I could only change the stumbling and falling. If I could only change the words that escaped my mouth before being thought through. If I could only change me. But as I soul search I find that I can't change my past. I cannot change my flaws. I cannot change the choices that I made. And now, looking back on it all, I wouldn't change it for the world. I learned through my own trial and error. I learned things my way. And yes, some of it hurt like hell; some of it left me with scars; but all of it shaped me into the person that I am today. Every wrong turn, every tear and every scar, they are not mistakes; they are life. In life there is beauty and pain and they work together in a balance to keep this world afloat. Just keep in mind that the stars shine brightest in the dark. Mistakes don't exist. We live our lives one step at a time; some steps in the right direction and some steps in a direction that shapes us, that gives us a new perspective. So do me a favor... stop telling yourself that you are a mistake or that you've made many mistakes. you have simply lived life to develop who you are today. And who you are today is so much stronger than who you were at the beginning of your journey.
