I made mistake after mistake.
I regretted each mistake.
I let my mistakes define me.
I let people label me for my mistakes.
I am not my mistakes.
I've learned over the years that my mistakes truly do not define who I am as a person; as long as I learn from them.
The thing is I made the same mistake over 26 times. I truly believed that I had already messed up once so I might as well keep going. I was wrong.
Finally I have come to realize that I can change. I can be a better person. I can live a healthy life. I am not who they say I am.
I am not what they make me out to be.
I am me.
I've made mistakes. I've learned.
I will not let my past define my future.
