Mistakes are an inherent and inevitable part of the human experience, occurring at every stage of life. From childhood to adulthood, no one is exempt from the occasional misstep or blunder. However, it is in our response to these mistakes and our understanding of their impact on relationships that we truly demonstrate our capacity for empathy and growth. Everyone makes mistakes no matter what stage they are in their lives. Allowing others to make their own mistakes and make their own decisions is crucial to any friendship. Being present after they make their mistakes is also crucial!
