In our current age, people tend to be so, so hard on themselves to please everyone and to be perfect people all the time. With having such a judgmental society, you can get knocked down pretty easily. What I’m here to tell you is that if you do something seen as wrong and you realize that what you did was messed up or hurtful, it’s going to be okay. Let those who are putting you down about it run their mouths and don’t let it get to you. If they’re trying to make you feel worse about something that happened, ignore them. That’s on them to feel the wrath of what their putting out there. I am a firm believer in doing what’s best for yourself and if you’re in a situation in which someone is putting you down for a mistake you have made, please just walk away from them and never speak to them again. Having people who criticize you like that in your life is a waste of your time. It’s hard enough to admit to yourself that you’ve done something wrong, but having someone make you feel ten times worse about it is absolutely ridiculous. Just apologize for what you’ve done and if people can’t get over it, well, that’s a personal problem for them. Live your life and learn from your mistakes.

Now I’m not condoning being an a**hole to people on purpose or doing something to intentionally hurt someone. Not at all. That’s not a mistake at all. Also, I’m not condoning making the same mistakes over and over again. Make a mistake once and learn your lesson. You don’t need to constantly be hurting over something when you know the end result already. Just know your boundaries and if you do hurt someone unintentionally, it’s okay. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. Everyone makes mistakes and those who can’t understand that can shove it. Make mistakes so you can learn from them. Make mistakes so you can find out who will stand by you and who will put you down. Keep the good people around and stay positive. It’s totally okay to make some mistakes.
