MY DIRTY SECRETS

I’ve made mistakes in my life…lots of them. I’m not talking about murdering a person. I’m talking about the parents I have let down…the exams I didn’t pass, The people who I’ve walked away from, the classmate I paid to have bullied, for my own pleasure…The people I manipulated with money & the legacy and the reputation I did not live up to…trust me, there’s more. But I’m guessing you already get the gist of what I’m saying. I’m human, I make mistakes…and I don’t regret any of them.
Life is too short to live by regrets. You make a mistake, you learn from it and you make sure you never do it again. The mistakes I have made, it made me a better person. I am a better person for making those mistakes. Why regret it? That’s life.
You take responsibilities for what you do. The biggest mistake I ever made was falling in love, which led to the failed exams…disappointed parents. But do I blame it on her. I’m smart, I’m capable of a lot of things…nobody need to tell me that. Nobody’s got to define me. I know who I am and what I’m capable of achieving. Do I blame my failure on her and just walk away? NO I don’t! Nor do I regret it. It was a choice. I chose to talk to her. I chose to let myself go there. She didn’t drag me into it. I dragged myself. And when I knew I was falling in love with her, I chose to stay. She was all I thought about…She was all I wanted. But it turns out to be a very stupid mistake. It was. I could’ve been great…extra-ordinary even. But I don’t regret it for once. Because now I know how to, and when to walk away from a mistake, makes me a better person for walking away.
Life may not turn out the way you want it to…You have expectations, goals, dreams. And when you fail to reach those goals, to make those dreams come true, when you fail to reach those expectations…you don’t walk away and regret it for the rest of your life. You step up and make new goals, watch better dreams. You move-on. You become a better person. Because you know you can.
Why am I telling you all this? I could’ve hid my dirty secrets. I’m telling you all this. Because I want you to learn from my mistakes, I want you to become a better person, I want you to stand up as you fall. Everybody needs inspiration every once in a while. I know I do. So frankly, sharing my dirty secrets with you is worth it, because it helps YOU, to become a better person.
As for me, I will make my parents proud, and I will never pay a living soul for my worldly pleasures, NO I’m not talking about hookers.
