Sometimes accept that you are wrong

“Sometimes you have to shut up, swallow your pride and accept that you’re wrong. It’s not giving up, it’s growing up.”

Admitting to when your wrong helps you grow up. I’m one of those people who learnt the hard way, by mainly listening other people. Once I learnt who my friends were, I knew what had to be done. I had to change myself to be a better person and not be like them any longer, it was a few years back, when I was a little younger when I went through that, loosing friends, changing who I was I still am changing who I am and I’m doing good with that. But just because you admit something when your wrong isn’t as bad as people think, you actually feel good inside. I may have lost a few friends but I also gained a few better ones along the way, to where I am now and to who I am now. I see it like this, if I’ve done something wrong I say I done it, if I’ve said something about someone I’ll tell that person I said it, I’m open, upfront, brutally honest when asked a question, I love hard, sweet and softly, I know who my friends are and always will be no matter the distance between us, I’ve dropped all the drama lovers that use to be around me, I don’t let what others say about me get me down, I just laugh it off, people say whatever they want and can about me, I really don’t care what people say about me, I know what I do and what I don’t do AND so does my boyfriend, so talk about me all you want, it makes me feel important. People can be so funny at times, I’m 37 years old, I finally have the life I’ve always wanted, but never had, I have a great man and a wonderful daughter, they are my little family. I learnt the hard way, I lost some friends, But I now have my perfect little family, I have good trusting friends, I know now who I am, I’ve changed to be a different person for good reason, I’m happy, I’m a stronger person than what I use to be, as I continue to learn how people are, slowly showing me their true colors more and more everyday, I find myself yet trying to decide on how and what to do, I’m not just choosing for myself anymore ya know, that’s what makes it so hard I guess, but I’ll make it through it, I did before and I can again. That’s part of growing up isn’t it, you learn something new everyday, ya know by saying that it really doesn’t mater your age or what you go through in your life, we never grow up we learn as we grow and we grow as we learn, around and around we go til we stop, does that make any since? You have only one life make it count for something, never do something you don’t want to do, because you may get stuck then what will you do? You’ll be like me, sitting alone, rethinking things through, trying to remember why you feel in love to see if you still are, life is short it’s up to you on how long you want yours to be, choose your path wisely, once you put all your heart into something then I guess you mainly open your eyes, to see the one you thought you were in love with start to make you have doubts, regrets, wanting to turn back time so you can stop yourself from maybe making another mistake in your life, but you find yourself once again learning and understanding that you are still having to grow up a little more. So if I’m the person I say I am in all this long advice, my thoughts and feelings, I’m admitting to thinking I’m starting to have some doubts, rethinking about the part of my life I’ve maybe lost, thinking about if I want to continue learning or I want to make things grow? Sorry everyone for the long comment, it helps me to write, type a story. It depends if I have a notebook near or if I’m on here, it just so happens I’ve been on here for the past 4 hours, trying to clear my mind think about some things and look where it’s led me. Cherish the choices you make and Blessed be. ~ Earlene Bowling
