We're all navigating in a life we've never lived before and for that reason it's completely trial and error. Some of us have the luxury of having guides and mentors in the form of parents, teachers, coaches etc etc and some of us don't but the thing that we all have in common is, we make mistakes.

.

It's up to us to not only man up and own own mistakes but it's also important to forgive yourself for them as well. You did the best you could with the knowledge and understanding you had at the time, navigating in a life you've never lived before.
