I had this on another thread but I decided to post it here.
We have all at one time or another driven the vile, vindictive, petty, gossip highway if you’re honest with yourself. Think back to high school days for an example. Take the first off ramp because that highway goes absolutely fucking nowhere except to cause you and others grief and strife.
When you mess up, ask yourself why, apologise, and choose to do better next time. We all make mistakes, owning them and learning from them is the only way to make a change and grow. And hopefully eventually, become better for it.
Into each life a little rain must fall. You can shriek and run, you can grab an umbrella, you can dance in it. The choices are endless. Your choices define you. Make the most of everyday rain or shine, regardless.
