cultivate mistakes

i think i now know what it feels like. for me to share my experiences with people younger than me, at the same time i have this notion in my head telling me, 'hey, let them experience life at their own pace. let them make all the mistakes. let them get burnt, let them go down the wrong paths. they learn at their own pace and they learn better lessons, more valuable ones than being told, being cautioned what is right/wrong/should/should not'.


when i was told/shared stories of how i should pay attention to this, consider that.. i reflect on all the younger people whom i've spoken to. like them, i should be allowed to grow at my own pace, make all the mistakes, collect all the experiences and venture into all the forbidden territories as much as i can to really learn..
