In life, we don't always make the best decisions. We fall flat on our faces. We get back up. We fall again. Some people around us try to make us feel bad for our decisions and choices. Yet, most of them have never walked a mile in our shoes. They didn't have to think and process things we did. We can take all the accountability in the world, yet those people will never be satisfied. I did the best I could with what I had. No, I didn't choose correctly. I did what I could with the situation at hand. What happened helped shape who I am now. It does not define me. Why? Because I'm still standing here.
