I recently saw the movie Definitely Maybe. Without telling you about the whole movie, the gist is that a father shares with his daughter his dating history and how he met her mother. To say the least, his life was complicated with a series of women woven in and out. I suspect that if each of us shared from beginning to end about our life, it would indeed be a complicated, messy tale.
And, I think that is okay. Through our decisions, good and bad, we learn and grow. When we get it right, we reinforce patterns and behaviors that are beneficial. When we blow it, we discover what we DON'T want in our life and what we SHOULD'NT do. Both are important as we strive to become more mature, giving of life and love to this world.
So, don't be ashamed if your life isn't perfect. No one's is, and we should just accept the fact, embrace it and learn from it.

I adored Definitely, Maybe! Noel and I saw it this last weekend and I was trying to tell him what you just said, that yeah, we make mistakes or choices that perhaps we wanted to make differently, but then we learn from them. The movie made me cry, partially because I could see my daughter grilling me in the same way, but also because even though it wasn't a perfect ending, it was a happy ending.
