I've made a lot of mistakes in my life.

I didn't get my GCSE's at school. I didn't stick at college. In some previous jobs ive quit when thing's have got tough. I dated guy's with issue's so i didn't have to face mine, I never followed my dream's, I made an idiot of myself many times, i let people control my thought's, i didn't stand up for myself.
I could go on, but i wont.
Half of the problem was the lack of confidence i had in myself. The other half, i think i wanted to be 'carefree and free-spirited'. But i was just making myself unhappy.
