Sometimes I write a lot of stuff. Sometimes, admittedly not very often, I write less stuff. This is one of those times. because some fuck thats just aren’t that complicated.

And here goes: If you fuck shit up, own it, and say sorry. And mean it.

We all make mistakes. Some, like me, more than most.

If you’re making the same mistakes over and over again, you need to stop that shit. Give yourself a gentle whack over the back of the head, and make a different mistake instead next time.

If you make a new mistake, then that’s called being human. And it’s only if you double down and don’t admit it that it makes you a bit of a shit human. And if you keep doing it time and time again perhaps quite a lot of a shit human.

Good humans make mistakes all. the. time. But apologise. And more importantly, learn. Evolve. Be better.

Don’t beat yourself up. Or do. If you’ve fucked up a bit, a little bit of beating yourself up can be useful motivation to not do it again.

More important than beating yourself up though, is learning, and doing and being better. So do that.

But not apologising or, just as bad, making bullshit excuses? Fuck. That.
