Last night i called my friend and we were talking and i was saying how i didn’t wanna mess up for tomorrow and she read me a bible verse about starting over every day …….
“Don’t worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will bring its own worries”
(or something like that)
But anyways I thought well OK maybe that’s true, So i stopped worrying yesterday and did what i wanted and now I’m stuck with the consequences, I’m hungover and i have like 15 new cuts on my legs. They hurt so bad i cant really walk and now i realize, and i will keep realizing until they heal, that if you fuck up one day then whatever you did will stick with you for a long time, maybe a week, maybe a year. You never get a new day to start over on, just because you sleep it doesn’t erase everything you’ve done before, if you take a bottle of pills and everyone finds out, just because you sleep all of that wont go away, if you lose your best friend, just because you sleep you wont get her back.
It would be amazing if we could all wake up with a clean slate, forget everything we have done and be a new person, but that’s never going to happen and until it does we all get to live with our mistakes.

If you woke up tomorrow with a clean slate that just gives you an excuse to be a complete prick today, doesn’t it? It’s cause and effect, you gotta take responsibility for your own actions
Or it gives you a chance to become a better person and forget your past
Letting go of the past has to be a choice.
Accepting our faults is a form of letting go, when we accept, we let go of the resistance to them.
@Libby, people NEVER become better people by forgetting their past. Only by confronting, accepting and rectifying their mistakes do people become better people.
you’re right… the consequences stick around until we learn to change
if we didn’t feel pain, we’d never feel anything, and we’d soon die.
