I've Made Mistakes In Life

Yes.. I will admit it I have made some mistakes in my life. I'm only 19 but I made a huge mistake a few years ago and I will never forgive myself for it. I started looking online and found Experience Project and I met some people on there some not so great people. Will needless to say I've learned my lesson on talking to random strangers and just giving out personal information like my phone number. But in the long run I have also learned a lot about how different countries work and met some really cool people that I still talk to. But if I had to do things differently I would. I would not have trusted a lot of the people I did and I wouldn't have posted my number on the internet. Knowing now how many creeps are actually out and only want one thing from young kids I would be safer.

Doesn't matter whether one is young or old, everyone makes mistakes or has lapses in good judgement. The key is to learn from them. Anyone who claims to have never made a mistake is deluding themselves.

I attended boarding school for a while. In that time, I very quickly learned two valuable lessons that have served me well all my life. (1) self-reliance. (2) Be careful who you trust.
A smart man I knew said, I love making mistakes. I just try not to make the same one twice.

I still have one great friend from the days of EP - she's the only online friend I've ever shared my phone number with and we continue to talk regularly......


But we're both of an age to remember life before the internet.

Good thing you’ve learned about keeping yourself safe. It’s a scary world. We’ve all made mistakes in life but we learn and grow from them. I read you up, pretty cool you like tinkering with stuff. Been a mechanic all my life and recently became an electrician. I always admired women that weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. If ya ever want to talk hit me up.

Yeah, mistakes will be made. We just have to learn from them and hope they're not too bad *hug*

Good people give us happiness, Bad people give us experience, Worst people give a lesson, and Best people give memories. All are essential in life.

Best Wishes. :)

We all make mistakes but it's good that you've learned to protect yourself
That happens to the curiosity of a child.
