Everything is right under our feet or a flight on an airplane away. \u00a0Then one day in the distance our human eye observes something beyond the reach of any human foothold. \u00a0Or seemingly so. \u00a0We can send a satellite to take photos, see up close and send data that tells us all we want to know about the object but cannot physically reach it ourselves. \u00a0Yet it is something we observe in the distance, in our field of sight, for a moment.
\nImagination can project whatever our mind yields; the desirable attributes and purpose of the object. \u00a0We can apply certain ideas and concepts of it’s existence. \u00a0 In the end, it is yet something unreachable. \u00a0Even if we were able to ie. walk on the moon, the closest of what seems an infinite number of cosmic bodies, we must still be separated from a physical contact by means of a wall ie. space suit.
\nHowever, once again our minds conceive there being in some distant galaxy, perhaps an alternate universe, a cosmic body which we can indeed inhabit. \u00a0Something our bare feet can touch upon with confidence it will provide a hospitable environment. \u00a0This is quite an encouraging thought to our finite mind; there’s something out there that is a compatible body to our own planet. A body with such similarity it’s existence is much like our own and our own much like it is. \u00a0All that it is matches what we are and have.
\nI’m writing this as an analogy to finding the right person as a partner in life. \u00a0Life being the infinite and my existence the cosmic body and my mind the searching light. \u00a0My signals are the beacon of searching. \u00a0I’m looking forward to showing the maturity gained in the time of my existence as a human and sharing that with another. \u00a0It would never be like before. \u00a0Mistakes I’ve made in the past are the keystone of how I’ve learned to be better.
\nNow a few quotes on mistakes (because they can be viewed as negative or – positive)…<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.\u201d
\n\u2015 Albert Einstein<\/em>
\n\u201cWhen you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.\u201d
\n\u2015 Paulo Coelho, Brida<\/em>
\n\u201cTo err is human, to forgive, divine.\u201d
\n\u2015 Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism<\/em>
\n\u201cIf people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made, if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.\u201d
\ni
\n\u201cHave no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.\u201d
\n\u2015 Salvador Dal\u00ed<\/em>
\n\u201cWell, we all make mistakes, dear, so just put it behind you. We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.\u201d
\n\u2015 L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
\n\u201cWe learn from failure, not from success!\u201d
\n\u2015 Bram Stoker, Dracula<\/em>
\n\u201cGood judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.\u201d
\n\u2015 Rita Mae Brown, Alma Mater<\/em>
\n\u201cWe are all mistaken sometimes; sometimes we do wrong things, things that have bad consequences. But it does not mean we are evil, or that we cannot be trusted ever afterward.\u201d
\n\u2015 Alison Croggon<\/em>
\n\u201cI make mistakes like the next man. In fact, being–forgive me–rather cleverer than most men, my mistakes tend to be correspondingly huger.\u201d
\n\u2015 J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince<\/em>
\n\u201cMakin’ mistakes ain’t a crime, you know. What’s the use of having a reputation if you can’t ruin it every now and then?\u201d
\n\u2015 Simone Elkeles, Perfect Chemistry<\/em>
\n\u201cI am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.\u201d
\n\u2015 Edna St. Vincent Millay<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I only have today so this is what I focus on; loving others despite their perceived wrongs against me. \u00a0If I can’t let that go it isn’t fair to expect to be loved despite the same.
