A restart button

Mistakes: some mistakes are better to repeat while others are better left untouched. Some mistakes are better to be repeated because we still believe that it is in fact not a mistake at all. While other mistakes are just wrong from top to bottom, enough to bring even the toughest men to their deaths.


In life, we make decisions, we make mistakes. Some are simpler normal everyday mistakes that we do, while others are mistakes that don't really occur that much but when it does happen, you start having this feeling inside: a well blended mixture of sadness, regrets and self hatred. As humans, we make mistakes. It's this simple imperfection in us that makes us uniquely perfect and there's nothing we can do to avoid it. Remember that fact in everything that we do. Yes we make mistakes, everyone knows that. But what most people don't realise is that, with every mistakes that we make, simple or difficult, there's always a restart button. No matter how bad a situation may seem, there's always a way to make it better. Back to the way it used to be, a restart button. We just have to look for it :)

Maybe we can't undo some things and maybe some feelings just never fade away, but I believe there's always a way to make a person feel better and go through anything life has to offer. It could be your friends, it could be music, it could be driving, it could even be something as simple as eating. Just find anything that calms you down. Life's too short to fill it with regrets and guilt. Because no matter how much we cry or get depressed over a mistake we did, it'll never undo the mistakes we make. We just have to make the best of what we have and leave the past behind us.


So to all you feeling like crap because of a mistake you've made in the past, don't think too much about it. If you really didn't mean to do what you did, I'm sure the person will understand (yes even if you killed that person) no need to worry, just apologise and give the person some time to approach you again. To the person involved, you have every right to get angry. It's your emotions after all. But think back, is it necessary to get angry? Has the person caused so much damage to you? Did he/she purposely caused you to be like this? If your answer is yes for all three questions, then you might want to approach this person to make him/her realise the mistake they did to you, then listen to what he/she has to say. If there's not even a single hint of apology in what the person say, by all means rip their heads off :D

Learn from your mistakes, you might even realise that the biggest mistakes you make might as well be the biggest success you made. Humans, we learn to improve ourselves each day. And each day we learn to forgive one another even more frequently. It is as humans, in our nature to make mistakes :) we just have to look at it from a different angle to realise what a mistake it is.
