Life

Sometimes we buck life up. Buck up real hard. And then we look back, and see lines and lines of mistakes.

That's what happened to me, at least. I've made so many mistakes in the past, life mistakes, mistakes that can't just be ignored. I've messed up big time, and it was largely my own fault.

...But, I don't really feel regret. I admit to feeling a bit - my life probably would have gone better without those mistakes - but, I also feel that I have gone away with a bunch of lessons. Instead of feeling regret, I feel that I may have finally improved on something about myself. The way things went, I can't really change, but at least I can change myself in the present, and hopefully make a brighter future. That's really all we can ever hope for, right? To improve on the past, to make a better future, no matter how hard the past may have been. Even this is a lesson I learned only recently.

I've been doing a lot of reading in light of my recent events. Half of it was to think things over while reading, the other out of pure enjoyment from reading some of the fanfictions this wonderful fandom has produced. I've especially stormed around for any TwiDash stories, because I just simply love that shipping! I hope to someday be able to write too, join the ranks, and I feel that the time may come soon. As I learn more and more about life through reading, I feel more and more prepared to enter this world of writing myself, because authors tend to draw inspiration from their own life, so I am making sure I can do that well. No use trying to be a good author while I have a broken life, is there? Being an author and living life really does go hoof in hoof, because as an author, one has to write about life and the world. I hope to improve both aspects, and I'm already on my way!
