Mistakes Are Made
Philosophers say, that in order to accept responsibility, you have to accept the fact that a mistake was made. Have you ever been loved so poorly, that you think that it is the best kind of love that there is? Well, that is where I was at and that was my first mistake. Throughout life, there are many times that people know that they made a mistake, but they still choose to not accept what they have done. There have been many accounts in my life that I did not take responsibility for, that I should have. But only this one really struck out to me.

Which that is one of the main reasons as to why people cannot take responsibility for their own mistakes, because they refuse to believe in the things that they have done or are doing. I made a mistake the time I didn't speak up for myself when he said the words to me, "Just shut up and come over here with my friends, or else you don't really want to be with me." I should have taken a hint when it got to the point where his friends would have to tell him not to treat me a certain way.He would use words against me to turn things around and make me feel bad for the things that he did. He would turn things around, so every bad thing he did made it seem like I was the one that did it. That was the another mistake that I had, and once I accepted that I had made that mistake I was able to let go and not even look back. That is what the philosophers were and are trying to
