My worst fears in the world were to have people dislike me and to fail. My business failed and my entire world came crashing down. I tried to kill myself, twice in one week. Then after therapy & medication and starting a new job at the same time as I was struggling to set foot out my front door, I realised the world was still spinning. I realised that I couldn’t set myself on fire to keep others warm. It was the dose of reality I needed to really appreciate what I already had.

I would say that i made many mistakes in life. But what I feel is that all the mistake made me become stronger and sharpness decision. All those scars remind me to be mindfulness with doing things though

The biggest mistake I’ve made was getting into a relationship. I’m grateful for it though because it gave me a lot of insight into balancing myself with other peoples priorities, being more sensitive, and improving a lot of my character that I was awfully blind to.

It would usually take me about I would say an hour I think! I just have a hard time sleeping so I’ll just turn the tv on and just dose off

becoming friends/close with the wrong people. i can think of multiple, but in general bad relationships really teach you a lot. they’ve helped me learn about myself and my values and they teach me to love myself even when others don’t. losing contact with people who used to make you really happy sucks, but just remember to cherish the good times you had with them as you accept that it’s best to let them go. it’s all about balance 🙂

All our mistakes help us grow and improve in some way. Sometimes it’s clearer and in other cases, we just gotta think it through. In the end, however, we can always learn or reflect about our mistakes and end up learning something, no matter how insignificant it might seem

Loving someone I shouldn’t have. I spent way too long in a terrible relationship, thinking I was in love but feeling sad most of the time. It damaged me in a lot of ways, but it also showed me what not to do. I know how it feels now when the relationship isn’t right, and it’s made me more confident to recognize when I’ve found something better. I’m with someone now who loves me in the right ways, and treats me the way I deserve to be treated.

There are many things in my life that I feel has been a big mistake that I am grateful for and I don’t know where to begin. To start off, is Colby a mistake? Future. I feel as if I am mistaken myself sometimes, by how many friends I have and so forth.
