Can’t Bring Me Down

Can’t Bring Me Down

A Story by Chace Peckham

Mistakes in life are quite impossible to control. No matter how meticulously you work, errors will happen, that is why no human is perfect. I have found that I am impervious to mistakes, meaning I have had my mistakes and have not allowed them to affect my life. I persevere through such blunders and persistently strive for excellence. I can announce that my greatest fear is being unable to correct such missteps in life and fail.


My journey through mistakes is one I have found that accurately depicts how to live one’s life. I have tried and established that you must learn from your mistakes in your existence. One must understand the mistake, reason through it, and cognitively process how one may ascertain new abilities or alterations to avoid making such lapses to reoccur. This theory I have found no flaws with at this time, but it is still a theory not a law.


The biggest point in this process is the ability to have hope that you will become a better individual through the mistakes you make. You cannot allow these errors in judgment to hold down your life, but for them to complete you as an individual that is the epitome of success in this process.


This is a poem I wrote that sums up this viewpoint rather simply:


“mistakes”


definition, doesn’t matter
to the parties in question
if it happens
usually only one person feels guilty
the other is upset
learning, does matter
in order to change the way
if it happens
hopefully better heads will prevail
hopefully…
changing, is mandatory
if it happens
the possibilities are endless
depending on how the people changed

mistakes are my worst nightmare
failure is at the root of every mistake
but the process I live by
is to learn and change through every mistake
I can only hope that will be enough
