Dating a man who was still married.
I justified this with myself because this person told me he was seperated. - This person wasn't happy with his marriage and was looking for a way out. Me the big dummy gave him his way out and yes he did get a divorce, but boy did I ever pick up someone with ALOT of baggage. - He was an extremely over bearing jealous and insecure individual. He had some issues that totally blew my mind. I tried helping him with his issues, but I ended up losing myself in the process. I wasn't able to function at work, at home or even as a mother. My goals had dissapeared... After 4 long stressful years I finally gained the strength along with Christ to end the relationship. It was very hard because he really was a good person and I loved him very much, but he needed to sort out alot of things first before entering into a realtionship with anyone. - A mistake it was because as a Christian even if I believed or even knew that he was separated; the fact is - is that he was still married and it was WRONG. I should not never gotten involved. Had I listened to what I knew was right, I would have not wasted 4 years of my life. You could say that I got what I deserved. I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy.

the worst mistake i have ever made was beginning to self-injure. i began in my freshman year of high school. i am in my third year of college and still fighting this uphill battle. self-injury is addictive, when a person is injured, the body releases endorphines to lessen the pain. the release of endorphines is what makes this behavior so addictive. i promise, it is just as addictive as anything. endorphines are even more powerful than drugs and alcohol. (this is from learning about other addictive behaviors) i am not "crazy". i have maintained at least a 2.5 gpa taking a full load and extra curricular. i also have friends and a social life. all while being the parent figure in my 2 younger brothers lives. am i mentally ill, yes. crazy or insane, no. here is the definition of insaninty from m-w.com "1 : a deranged state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder (as schizophrenia)
2 : such unsoundness of mind or lack of understanding as prevents one from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or as removes one from criminal or civil responsibility" this is the definition of mental illness from hyperdictionary.com "[n] any disease of the mind; the psychological state of someone who has emotional or behavioral problems serious enough to require psychiatric intervention"

Breaking up with a girl many years ago for stupid reasons.
She got married, has kids, and it's hard for guys to move on.
But on the flipside of that coin, I also realize that I wouldn't be where I am now if I chose that path. So I guess everything happens for a reason.
One thing I constantly hear from other friends (although it has not happend to me yet)....is not spending enough time with or being nice to their parents and loved ones. When someone passes away and you have to deal with the fact that you have been distant or not as available or nice as you should have been, it has a devastating effect.

When I was in Atlantic City, NJ I was looking for ap lace to stay for the night and I thought this little motel on Pacific ave was good. it was right near Resorts on Pennsylvania Ave. They charged me like $196 for a night. And they placed me in a room looking over Pacific Ave. and I heard cars and loud motors and carhorns through the night. This was also on a saturday, April 1st, 2006. It should've been like $90 a night instead. I will never make that mistake again.

Changing myself in middle school to fit in with my elementary school friends who went down the wrong path. By the time I learned I shouldn't have done that it was to late and I didn't really belong to any groups. I didn't really start getting friends until 9th grade.
I've got worse mistakes but I don't want to go there.
