It's so easy to blame others for not liking how your life is going. It's so easy to say you should've done something else and things would have been different. It's not easy to accept that you played a role in your own sorrow. There are days that I wish things were different, but then I look at all the wonderful things in my life and realize I wouldn't have those things now if things were different. I'm happy with me. I'm happy with the truly important things in my life. I keep growing every day and learning to become the person I want to be.
Yesterday, a good friend of mine and I were discussing how our pasts made us who we are, and we're good with who we've become. So many times you hear people who wish they could change the past. Well, if you change the past, you wouldn't have the things in the present. Have I made mistakes? Oh, my yes! (and please, no comments here, Mom) But, I've learned from those mistakes and have become a stronger person. Was the learning process easy? No way. I failed miserably a lot of the time and repeated mistakes, but finally, I caught on. I decided I wasn't the person I wanted to be and I DID something about it. Instead of repeating my bad choices, I learned from them. Instead of blaming others, I accepted responsibility for my own decisions. Each day is a learning process. I make mistakes every day, but, I learn and I try to not make the same mistakes again.

My little girl has REALLY grown up! Yes, you made a lot of mistakes, but so did I. And you are right...you, and I too, have learned from them (hopefully!). And, as you stated, dealing with the results of those mistakes has made us what we are today. We learn and grow stronger. God has a plan for each of us. He does not tell us what to do or how to do it, but He guides us through it. I think you have finally found out who you are and what you are. It took me a long time to find that out for myself. You have found it out much sooner in your life than I did in my own life. I am so proud of you. Luvya lots!
