We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find. -Unknown ♥

I can't think
everything is
too much
too heavy
too important
Everything must
be right.
Always exactly right.
I hate that.
In life you need
to make mistakes
but if you
must be right
when and
how can the
mistakes happen?

It seems like
in this world
perfection is
required
necessary
everywhere
no matter what.
Some people
make it look so
easy.
Like perfection
is not a
challenge
not hard at all.
But I still
make mistakes.

That's the
way it is.
Deal with it.
I make mistakes.
I make mistakes.
Thats who
I am.
A girl who
makes mistakes.
