Mistakes
Mistakes happen, and they're an inevitable part of life. Nobody is perfect — society as a whole is flawed in some way — and that's just how it goes.
But while mistakes push us towards our eventual successes, they can also be oversensitive topics for most of us. There are generally two ways to go about handling mistakes: you can wallow in them or you can try to move past them.
Wallowing in mistakes is generally a bad idea, as it only helps you make them worse. The best way to deal with mistakes is by trying to move past them.
But as you're trying to move past a mistake, you can't always be at total peace with yourself. There will be times when you'll feel like the person who made the mistake is destined for a life of woe and misery because of his folly. This can very easily lead to regret or depression over the matter, and that's where talking about mistakes comes in handy, because it can help ease those feelings from your mind.
While it's no fun to talk about your mistakes, it can be cathartic to get your feelings off of your chest. If you're suffering from regret or depression because of a mistake that you made, try talking it out with a close friend. They might be able to give you some perspective on the situation that will make you feel better about yourself, and if they can't, then all the more reason to keep talking until someone can help you out.
It's hard to make mistakes sometimes, but they're an inevitable part of life — something we'll continue having trouble dealing with in the future. For that reason, it's important to be able to talk about your mistakes and work towards making them a thing of the past.
