Old mistakes. I've made mistakes I wish I could take back, trusted the wrong people, ignored my intuition, and made choices that taught me lessons the hard way. But I've learned that carrying shame forever doesn't change the past. Those mistakes became teachers, not life sentences. They helped me grow, mature, and understand myself better. I am not proud of every chapter in my story, but I'm grateful for the person those chapters helped me become. And if there's one thing I know now, it's this: I refuse to let old mistakes define who I am today. I am allowed to grow beyond them, learn from them, and become better because of them.
