Lessons in life are great. Good advice is also very good use, but do we actually take a friend's advice? We might convince ourselves we do when all we're really doing is being stubborn and doing the opposite of what they've offered. Maybe the lessons and advice aren't just necessary for others. It may be good; could be the greatest piece of information you've ever gotten. Though, you stay with your gut feeling and go along making the wrong choice. A mistake. And then, everyone is disappointed with what you've done. But the life lesson is right before their eyes and they just don't see it. We make mistakes. Little, big. Good, bad. Whatever it may be, we weren't made perfect whatsoever. Our whole life is made to be messed up so you can learn.

I've, unfortunately, haven't learned quite correctly. I feel the need to please everyone which causes me problems. And what I don't understand is half the time they don't appreciate what I've gone all out and given what they've wanted. Even though it bothers me at times about the mistakes I've made, so what? We all need to be messed up at least once.
