I have made so many mistakes in my life I can't count them all. I never made the exact same mistake twice, but that's not saying much. It's being able to forgive yourself that counts. The world is waiting in line to kick you... you don't need to help them out by kicking yourself. The best advice I can give you is to treat yourself as kindly as you would your best friend if they made a mistake... you'd forgive them, why not forgive yourself?

I understand Chris my mom doesn't do drugs or anything ,idk what ur mom does,(and its none of my business) but she just doesn't understand that she's the not only one that is upset by the divorce, the move, and the death of two loved ones. I feel like I'm trapped there because I feel like no one listens to me. We always takes the opposite sides in a fight so it's constant arguing. If this is anything like what ur going thru I feel ur pain and I understand it's hard but we need to push forward for the good things in the future. I'm not doing this for sympathy. Not at all. I just want to show people that there r people out there who have it way worse even if u feel like nothing goes ur way. Right now I am In a nice warm bed with my own phone and a roof over my head and food in my belly. Right now there r at least! Hundreds of people because they were hungry or was dehydrated. So when u feel like everything is going wrong think about people who r less lucky than u and b thankful instead of upset.

No, not really. I always think about things logically before reacting. The mistakes I have made I have always found a way to fix. I have no regrets.

A lot of people might consider them mistakes. I consider them alternate routes that got me where I am today.

Lots! Everyone does. That is how we learn. One thing to remember is if you make a mistake, own up to it, try to fix it (not all can be fixed), learn from it, and move on.
