very true words there ... my aunt had an idea that inspired me though regarding the last stanza... it doesnt help to teach, but if you set an example people can see the way you are, and try to emulate that... and regarding the 3rd stanza, do you really believe it was a waste? couldnt anything we experience be of some value at one or more points in our lives? jst some random thoughts on what you wrote. nice job on the writing, it made me think. that's good.

I'm me, nothing more, nothing less.

Life's lessons are rarely learnt from other people, and sometimes not even learnt by one's self. This poem shows that nicely.

It was really just thoughts popping into my head, so if it is right or wrong - I have no idea.

I was just re-reading some of what I've written earlier, journals, diaries and the like, and thought of how naive I was back in those days. I'm not saying I know everything now, but I have learned since then.

When I was 13-14 I thought, no, I was convinced that I knew what was to know, but now I've realized that I didn't know much at all and that I had a lot to learn. And I still do.

About those love letters, they were a waste of time, but not a total waste, because I learned from my mistakes.

It comes knowledge from every mistake, so I'm not going to regret a single mistake or bad happening.

(Though I can try to avoid the obvious mistakes....)

Thanks for commenting anyways

I dont think there is a right or wrong in that case. and yeah when we're 13/14 yrs old we think we know everything, whats funny is that when we're 20 we think we know certain things, but when one looks back from 40 one realises the same thing, that one didnt know as much as believed. you're welcome
