"I'm just trying to write the story of my life"
My story just keeps on changing.
Hey blog viewers! Have you made a mistake which sometimes you can't seem to make right? Maybe you left the milk out of the fridge, no maybe not something so silly and pathetic but right now all I seem to be doing is make mistakes. Last night we have a huge thunder storm and I managed to go to school in the morning and leave my window open. Needless to say I was sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag last night whilst my mattress was in the bath "draining".
I don't just mean mistakes like that of course, I told my parents I don't want to see any universities until I have my results in August and I think I'm regretting that now whilst everyone else seems to be off up to obscure cities to find out about crazy courses. They all seem to come back the next day determined that they're making the right decision to aim for such and such a university! Me? Well I'm sat here trying to keep up with all the new work we're being set whilst scanning the websites and virtual tours of campus from the safety of our Sixth form computer room.
Sometimes though mistakes can be a good thing, like Louis Pasteur. He accidentally left the mould out on the side and found this amazing new discovery which we still use today and will probably use until we find out how to make ourselves immortal.
My biggest mistake, which keeps happening to me, is talking without thinking. I don't think about consequences and I know that, recently I've spent my lunch times and break times and early morning times hiding away up here finding any excuse to be doing work just so I don't have to go to the common room where all my friends are. Why? Because I don't feel like I can be around them anymore, after a fall out with a few of them it feels impossible to work out how to talk to any of them. I've even found it hard talking during lessons like Drama, which is abnormal since it's my favourite subject in the world.
As human beings we make mistakes, we never mean to and we never internationally try to cause destruction and pain but sometimes it just works out that way and there is nothing we can do about it. On my Formspring someone asked "scared of growing up?" my response: "petrified" and I really am, I know that when I get to university I'm on my own and I won't have my parents there to support me to help me correct my mistakes. My mistakes are going to be permanent and there is nothing I can do but try to stop such mistakes. Which would be impossible as nobody is perfect.
So my question to all of you is: should we try to amend our mistakes? Should they be written off as mistakes never to be done again and to be learned from? Do people have a right to dictate which mistakes are acceptable and which aren't?
See, thoughtful and deep!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I've been so busy with exams that finding something to write about that I wanted to write about was too hard and I just gave up!
