I think that it is safe to assume that we all make mistakes in life. Even if we believe that we are doing things for the right reason, sometimes we look back and think, “What the fuck was I thinking?” That given, I am happy to say that I have learned from these mistakes. They have made me a wiser, stronger, and more independent person. I’ve learned who I am, who I want to become, what I want to leave behind, where I want to go, and who I can depend one (which is nobody but me). I want to live life for myself, setting high standards, making no exceptions, and never settling for anything less than I deserve.
