i’m telling myself this after a few major blunders this past week.

because the reality of it is that i am human and i screw up.

and the fact that i’ve learned from my mistakes is the only reason it’s all ok.

if i kept being hard on myself past the twenty minutes or so that i allowed to dwell on things, then it wouldn’t be ok.

if i kept inside my head and didn’t balance my frustrations with some sort of release, then it wouldn’t be ok.

if i kept saying the awful words i said to myself, and i admit i did, then it wouldn’t be ok.

if i kept on going at the rate i have been without a keen sense of awareness, then it wouldn’t be ok.

living, and learning from living is the way about the mistakes, or rather experiences, accumulated over time.

so i say to my parking ticket, almost towed car, missed event - just so you know, you’re not going to get me down.

and i’m telling you right now, don’t let yours get you too.

you’re so much better than that.

and it’s ok.
