Some random, yet inspiring, Sex & The City quote: “Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn’t fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it’s comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart.”
I was going to save that for last, but maybe if I hooked you with a good opener like that, you would be more likely to read this entry. Are you interested? Well, then, okay. Let’s find out what tonight’s blog is going to talk about.
Taking Chances. Well, if you read my past few entries, they all have something in common. Since I do respect the privacy of myself and people that are close to me, I would never reveal personal details as to what’s going on in my life. Honestly, I type these blogs out to help myself sort through my thoughts, because I ravage through painful emotions a lot, and I don’t know why, still… so without further ado, let’s make this and take this away from me, and make it into something for you, the reader of blogs.
Why is it that no one seems to risk shit anymore? It seems we are all so much more cautious in how we act. I remember I used to do pretty bold things in my life… now, not so much. I’ve sort of settled down into this pathetic adult norm where the norm is all that I follow. It’s tragic, really… but I think it’s more than just that.
I think the mistakes I lack in making are making my life lack life. So maybe the woman from SATC was right. Maybe mistakes do make our fate. Maybe mistakes help us figure out what’s right and wrong… can you deny it? Can you honestly say, “I regret making this mistake because I learned nothing from it”? Or do you simply say to yourself, at times, “I regret what I have done”? There is a large difference, and I think many of us don’t realize this.
As adults, we’re trained well. We are trained to achieve, yet somehow not make mistakes. Better yet, the person who makes the fewest mistakes will rise to the top soonest, and the seal wins the fish. So, why is it then that we learn from mistakes? Is this something we tell to people who just can’t get where they want to soon enough, so we came up with a phrase to help them feel better? I think not.
I think those who make the most mistakes have the most experience. The more experience you have, the more chances you have to do something right. So go ahead, everyone, and fuck some shit up. Take some chances. This is your life here… Don’t live in the future… Don’t worry about the past. Just live in the present, because it’s the only thing you have right now. Remember that… and you’ll carry on!
