Someday, mistakes won’t hurt as much as they used to. And the things that once broke your heart will just be silly reminders of way back whens.

In the meantime, allow yourself to cry, feel hurt, and be depressed over the most random and petty of things. Get mad when you feel like it and pretend to be happy when you have to. Tell people you’re fine when you’re not. Eat what you want, worry about gaining weight after. Maturity isn’t easy to learn and acceptance is hard to live by. So until you can muster the courage, do whatever you feel like doing.

But remember to cross the bridge when you get there and laugh at how worried you were falling on a two-feet deep river. Moving on is necessary. And what you intend to do next is more important than what mistakes you did back then. So get up and get over it. If you make another mistake? Get up and get over it. That’s just how it goes.

How will someday come if you just sit down and cry forever?
