Thomas Edison found 1000 ways not to make a lightbulb.

We make mistakes everyday. If someone tabulated and tallied every single mistake we made in that one day, and did that for a whole month, the list would most definitely be longer than our arms.

1. I should definitely have not eaten that cheesecake.
2. I shouldn’t have texted him.
3. I never want to see him again.
4. I trusted him.
5. I got in a fight.
6. I tripped over a rock and sprained my ankle.
7. I fell in love

…

The list goes on.

We will never find the right way to live life. Life is full of stupid things and stupid mistakes and stupid lies and stupid truths. We stumble around life like we live in the dark. Falling where we shouldn’t and tripping over things that don’t matter.

We think we grow up when we’re 18 but we really don’t grow up at all.

We all don’t grow up. But we all don’t grow up, together. Sometimes you need that extra push in the right direction. Sometimes, you find yourself fumbling, stumbling, muttering. Until someone comes and switches on the light bulb. For all the world to see.
