“I have a certain amazing genius; worthy of a Nobel Prize I’m sure, and that’s making mistakes.
Yes, of course, all of us make mistakes, that’s part of being human, we’re all imperfect.
We all make mistakes, and regret things in our past. But we are not only our mistakes, but we are also what we learn from them. Maybe we have to repeat that mistake a few times to really get it. Sometimes we do wrong things, things that have bad consequences. Sometimes we think we can hide those mistakes by being our own defense lawyers and somehow justifying them, instead of just admitting we fucked up. Sometimes we hurt those we love the most in the worst way.
It does not mean we are bad people and cannot ever earn back the trust of those we hold dear.
Every mistake we make brings us closer to our own fragility and if we open our eyes, they also illuminate us. Realizing those mistakes might give us a map that opens up a whole new world and shines a light on our journey.
Learning something new every day is an ability we as humans have and should take advantage of every day in this lifetime.”
― Riitta Klint
