Mistakes

 

 

Im not perfect, I’m far from that

I make a million mistakes a day

but I will not let that stop me from trying to find my way

I’ll be sorry later when I realize what I have done

I work  very hard to get what I want

I would never intentionally hurt someone

When I say I am sorry,  I truly mean what I say

but who in this world other than me, will fullfill my needs today

So when I make a mistake,  I will not  just give in to my strife

I will just chalk it up to another day

another day in my adventurous life.

 

Sometimes when we are looking for the life we want or the things we need we tend to overlook others not meaning to intentionally hurt anyone but it happens. I always feel bad when I think maybe I have walked on someone to get what I want or need not realizing at the time that is what I was doing.When I am confronted by friends who let me know how I have made them feel, It breaks my heart. Life, it is a learning process and everyday is a new adventure but no matter how many mistakes I make I will never give up trying to be the best me I can be :)
