At this point in our lives, we've all made a mistake that we aren't proud of and wish we could take back but there isn't a time machine to take us back or a device to turn back time. I promise you that this will not be your first nor will it be your last mistake.

The reality of life is that you're always going to make a mistake, it's made up in our genetic makeup, but instead of being stuck in the vortex of that mistake you have learned to release yourself from that regret that you're burdening yourself with. You will never get to go back and fix that mistake that you made but you can learn to accept that it happened and learn from it. We are born into a world where everything we experience is a lesson and we have to accept that some lesson may be harder to learn but in the end, they will contribute to the growth that we experience.

The mistakes you make will never dictate who you are unless you give them the energy to, the more energy you give to that regret, the more it will weigh on the person you know you are deep down.

You are so much more than the mistakes you make and no one can make you believe otherwise other than you. You are the author of your own story and you're the only one who can edit it to fit the way that you want it to.

We are more defined by how we choose to overcome things, then we are by the mistakes that we make. Never feel like the mistakes you made will be the only thing people see when they see you because you matter way more than the mistakes you made.
