Don't you just wish you knew then what you know now?
I do! I have made so many mistakes in the past three years and frankly I'm not ashamed to admit it. Perhaps its because I've always had the attitude that what you think of me is none of my business, or maybe its just because I feel like everyone makes mistakes. But the past three years of law school I've made the worse decisions ever. For starters, I've dated all the wrong people (we all know I like the WINNERS!) and at times I've knowingly gone against my better judgment, only to get hurt in the long run. But thats not what this blog entry is about....keep reading...
The other day I was talking to my little cousin Darlyne and she told me "Geez, I'm so sick of learning lessons." I was so curious about her statement, I asked her what she meant by it and she told me, "I've always hated school, and making mistakes requires you to learn a lesson, and its like having to go to school your whole entire life." At first I laughed. But then I thought about it, wow! My cousin Darlyne is a philosophy, she's mad deep.
Your probably reading this thinking Michy's an idiot, and you know what MAYBE I am, but Darlyne is right. Life is all about learning, you learn from your mistakes throughout your entire life. Someone once said, a man's errors are his portraits to self-discovery and I agree. I learn from my mistakes and they shape my life, and who I am.
But its important to only focus on your mistakes briefly and this is why --- After cancelling my wedding I realized VERY quickly, that if I continued to feel sorry for myself or focus on this failed engagement that I was filling myself up with grief, regret and depression. I learned that I needed to find a different type of man in my future (I won't publicly diss Albert on this blog because I'm a classy woman--besides all of you hate him anyways :) lol) But seriously, I realized that the important thing to focus on was not repeating my mistakes in the future.
Oscar Wilde once said "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." And that is so true.
Ultimately it is impossible to not make mistakes throughout our lives, the important thing is to learn from your mistakes and to NOT let yourself repeat them.
I hope you guys enjoyed my first real blog entry, I won't always talk about serious things, some days I will discuss fashion or current events, other days I might just post pictures of my family or videos-- It just depends on my mood, after all this is MICHYLAND!!! :) Thanks for reading, LETS SNUGGIE!!!
