Screw-ups. We've all been there.


Ever had those days where you lie down but then suddenly, all the most embarrassing and epic fail moments of your life start to flash back before your eyes? The horrific past returns to haunt you *dun dun dun duuuun!*. Then you plunge into that dark abyss of regret where you go, OhGod why did I even do that?! Which afterwards, you would wish that you could just vanish off into an oblivion.

So you think you've screwed up big-time?


I guess everyone would agree that one of the most embarrassing moments would be those days where nothing seems to go right. Getting humiliated in front of your crush at school, or in the middle of the whole class or merely in your group of friends probably sums up as a bad day for anyone. But if it makes you feel any better, (I never thought I'd talk about it anymore. Ever again.) I'm pretty sure screwing up a whole school play is enough for me to just end my miserable existence. Believe me. You did not want to be up on that stage hearing the facepalms of the whole batch and stage crew members echoing in the theater on that cursed day. Yup! I screwed up! It was the end of the world! Maybe messing up a few lines and tripping publicly on stage wasn't so bad, I kept telling myself. Eventually when everything was over, I ran out of the theater and locked myself up in the nearest washroom. I started to think that ending my life wouldn't be as bad as living it in humiliation.

Lighten up!

Since we all have our own personal screw-ups, and everyone has their own way of handling it, I'm honestly not here to help you provide a solution for that. Basically I'm just here to tell you that years from now, I'm pretty sure most people would look back at every single stupid and embarrassing thing they have done and laugh about it. My mom told me once that the past and present mishaps won't matter (as long as you learn from it of course), cause in the end, its what and who you'll be that will truly count. And all those events will be just mere memories you can look back to with a smile.
