the thing about making a mistake is the only excuse one can make is "it was a mistake" although "I didn't mean to" would suffice still some decisions we make will be mistakes but the thing about it is at the time of the decision made there was no way of knowing the planned out thought was a mistake waiting to happen some of us beat ourselves up merciless every time we think of some of the decisions we made that led to a mistake the consequences and repercussions makes it hard to leave it in the past we're still kicking ourselves in the a** in present it's as if we don't give ourselves allowance for imperfections we "make mistakes" we're going to do things we're not proud of we can't take it back the phrase "perfect people" lacks harmony "like happy new year" it's oxymoronic
