They’re part of exactly what makes me into me.

It’s time to shift the way you look at your previous mistakes—instead of seeing them as these awful things that you regret, look at them as part of your story.

“

You mess up. You let yourself down. You hurt others. You hurt yourself.

“

By avoiding mistakes, you’re actually doing yourself a huge disservice.

“

Time and time again, we’re told that our mistakes don’t define us. But I’m telling you differently.

“

We are all human which automatically means we will mess up and fall short.

“

Don’t date someone because you are lonely. Date someone because you see a future with them. 

“

The standards I’m holding myself to are impossible. That’s why I’m always so frustrated with myself, why I never feel like I’m doing enough.

“

Accept the discomfort, allow yourself to grow through your own mistakes- and then shed them as you continue on.

“

Don’t date someone because you are lonely. Date someone because you see a future with them.
