I fuck up all the time. I take pride in it. I think admitting you are wrong is cooler than being right. And I am totally serious about that. Admit you are wrong and you instantly have my respect.
I’ve always said that balance is key, self deprecation & being comfortable admitting your own wrongdoings is imperative, but I pity those who feel unable to allow themselves credit where it’s due. Know your faults but recognise & embrace the good, then you can’t go far wrong.
I have a hard time “giving up” when I feel strongly about something and for the most part, I admire people who stand by what they said. Of course, stubborn and ignorant is a deadly combination.
Rather frequently, lately. Then, never at the right times either. Can’t manage to make life work the way I want it to and can’t let it ride as it is.
All the above is not based on any one specific, gigantic screw-up, just the accumulation of little things. Little things that should make life bearable, but being screwed with makes life an irritant.
I don’t screw up very much, I don’t think. I can give up on other people, though. When the same stupid shit keeps happening over and over and over. Then I will say “I don’t care any more.”
