My Mistakes

I've made mistakes my whole life; everyone does. But none of mine compare to the mistake I've made over the past couple of months. Now, after being here only two months, all I want to do when I get out is make and dedicate my life to being the best person I can possibly be and become a functioning member of society.

I want to go places, learn things about the world and educate myself further. When I'm free and I have served my time, I need to prove the change to myself and my family. I've been letting myself down and wasting my potential my whole life. I could be so much more, yet here we are.

Nevertheless, I will serve my time, whatever that may end up being, and go about the rest of my life showing that I'm not that person; it was a simple mistake that anyone could make in this cruel world, and I will forever go about proving myself to the people I love and hold most dear.

You will have times when it devastates you, but I say use it as motivation to do better and be better. You've always got to remember that emotions are temporary; you will never feel the same all the time, so be prepared for sadness, upset, boredom and loneliness. But don't let that cloud you from enjoying what's good. Emotions can be a confusing thing; sometimes you can control them, and sometimes you can't. That can translate into life itself as well – you never know what is going to happen, but you can choose the little things and hope to have some control. Things go wrong all the time.
