Learning From Your Mistakes


by: Beth Victoria Suwito 

Have you ever made a mistake? If you have, then welcome to the club. Everyone has made mistakes because we are all just humans who make mistakes. Mistakes are simply a part of everyone’s daily routines. It’s a normal thing. 

That’s why you shouldn’t dwell on the mistakes you’ve made. Regretting things and feeling sorry for yourself won’t do much. What you have to do is learn from them. Treat those mistakes like a lesson. Don’t beat yourself up over a small mistake. In order to grow, you have to learn from them. 


Another thing is that you should also be patient with other people’s mistakes. Remember that it’s a human thing. People can’t be perfect. Everyone is learning. That’s why you should be patient with them. 


Mistakes are just life’s little pebbles. You can stumble across them and you can trip from them. It’s not a huge boulder that’ll stop you from reaching your dreams. It’s a small mishap that could give you a valuable lesson. 


Don’t think of mistakes as something that’ll ruin your life. Just try your best to not make the same mistake over and over again. It’s no use saying sorry and feeling bad if there isn’t any change in yourself. Learn from them and find out how you can prevent the same thing from happening. 


Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to not make mistakes. Instead, you should try your best to do whatever task is given. Try your best and all will be okay. 


If anyone tries to shame you for your mistakes, simply say sorry and not do the same mistake again. The important part is what you do after the mistake. 


So, let’s all grow together from the mistakes that we made!

Good Damage: Justifying the Trauma, Does it All Happen for a Reason?

  by: Rebecca Karenia “All the damage I got isn't good damage.. it's just.. damage. I haven't got nothing out of it and all those years I was miserable was for nothing.” The quote you see above was taken from Diane's monologue from the show Bojack Horseman. The character Diane Nguyen, a 40 year old aspiring writer, was contemplating whether she should continue writing her first book or stop altogether since it does not serve any purpose to all the hardships and trauma she went through. Sounds familiar? Let's dive deep into it! Oftentimes you may find yourself thinking that the trauma you’ve gone through in the past, happens to you for a reason. It must’ve happened with a purpose, right? And so in order to serve this purpose, you forge strength and resilience to become someone different- someone who learned from their mistakes. Someone who knows better about the truth and harshness of the real world. You define your own suffering and give it a whole new meaning so th

Finding the Freedom in Feeling Left Behind

by: Ilma Rosyidah Everyone has their own timeline. But the feeling of being left behind becomes uncontrollable when everyone else seems to be reaching another stage in life while you still don’t know what to do. Feeling left behind in some ways can lead you to lose your freedom.    The days go by so fast before you might even notice your New Year’s resolutions still showing no progress. At the same time, the idea of breaking the distance through technology makes you easily exposed to everybody’s life, even the ones you don't really know. You see beautiful pictures and various achievements that other people have. Then when you look in the mirror, you start to second guess your worth. “Mirror mirror on the wall, I guess I am worse than everyone else because they are doing better in life ,” you might hear.  I think I was in yesterday 'Cause everybody walks too fast -My Time, by Jungkook BTS- Your friend is attending college while reality is holding you back to do the same.
