I was once asked at work why new yorkers are so mean. I replied with becuase people get in our way. Am I wrong?

Just thought I'd share that lol.

Everything happens for a reason. There are no mistakes or regrets in life. Everything that you did or have gone through only help you in your life. As time goes on I have realized all of this. All the mistakes in my life or the things that I regreted came back and helped grow. The people I have dated taught me so much and the things I have gone through. I know how to handle myself better in life. I feel like everyone has to realize that no matter what mistakes they have made, it has made you a better person.
So learn from whatever choices you have made. The things you may wish never happened or the the things you wish you did. There's no time like the present. Do what you believe in, and make yourself into whatever it is you want to be. It is never too late to do what you love. The most important thing is to be happy. Live for something or else you will die for nothing.
