Did I do that?
Mistakes suck. They just do.
You can let it roll off, acknowledge it but not let it get to you. You can shake it off and learn from it, but it still stings a bit.
It can be something so small, like forgetting an ingredient on your grocery store run or getting somewhere only to realize you left your phone behind or taking a wrong turn and ending up somewhere you’re not supposed to be.
Or, it can be bigger. Saying something that you later regret, some action that seems fine in the moment but has repercussions later.
And, they always seem to come at you when you’re feeling on top of it all or you're already feeling down and really don’t need another kick in the pants.
I’m someone that can’t stand to get in trouble for anything, can’t stand to have people mad at me.
And I hate making silly mistakes, ones I knew better not to make. But I’m working on it, not being so hard on myself. It’s tough, battling with your own brain.
I always seem to end up making a wrong turn while driving somewhere new, accidentally cutting a turn too short and four-wheeling it for a split second (which I rarely ever do, I swear).
It just happens.
But no matter how perfect we are, we think we are or we try to be, we still make mistakes.
I know I’m not perfect, but my mistakes still irk me. I’m working on it each day, correcting my actions and thoughts so I don’t keep making the same mistakes. Learning from the past to better the future.
Onto the next mitsake.
