Fact of the matter is

I'm not. Even though my friend beek hooked me up with free new antivirus software, my computer won't even boot up normally. It is a very strange sensation to be so free of the computer after years of being addicted to using it.

That's not why I'm here, however. I'm here to talk about mistakes. (oh, yeah, this probably won't be very humorous, so if you're here for teh </geek> funny, wait a couple more days) The thing with mistakes is, it's a lot easier to recover from them when you're young. And they tend to have shorter-reaching consequences. If you have extenuating circumstances, however, you'll catch up really quickly. I think mistakes are like chickenpox: the later in life you have them, the more excruciating they are. But that doesn't mean they're not every bit of worthwhile.

And I'm happy for mine, for they have made me who I am.
