Hey fellow popcorns! ๐ฟ
Oh my *facepalm* I think that was one of the worst intros ever, but nevermind! I’m going with it aha.
I’m so sorry guys, I never got round to writing this post yesterday, so can we just pretend I published it on the last day of May…?!
Anyways, can I have a round of applause because today is…
The 5th post of Quirky Ramblings *applause ++ cheering*
No explanation, the title pretty much gives it away so let’s jump straight into it shall we?!
(I think that was the shortest introduction to my post I’ve ever done)
We all make mistakes, don’t we? I mean we’re only human. It’s a fact: we’re going to mess up. I mean what can we expect? We are not perfect. We are not idol beings, forever doing things right. But if we mess up, did we necessarily do anything wrong? I think I just confused myself with what I just said sodon’t worry if that confused y’all !
Mistake is an act or judgement that is misguided or wrong.
It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes. I’ve made so many in my life, that I stopped counting a long time ago ๐ We all make them, if you say you’ve made no mistakes, then you are a terrible liar.
The most important thing though if you make a mistake, is to learn from that mistake. It could be as simple as next time you take an exam, using the time left over at the end when you’ve finished the paper to re-read your answers. once made the mistake of doing that, and I lost out on a lot of marks.
Or, it could be as complicated as losing a friend because you all got in an argument but you never listened to what they had to say and immediately accused them of being in the wrong.
But how can we fix our mistakes? This is a question I have asked myself repeatedly. Maybe sometimes it’s as simple as saying “sorry” and just moving on but it can be so much more complicated than that. Maybe, there is no way to fix the mistake you have made, but as long as you have learnt from that mistake and (hopefully ๐) never made that mistake again, I see that as some sort of peace with your mistakes. I’m saying mistakes way too much in one sentence ๐โค
In addition, always admit to your mistakes! There is nothing shameful about it. Don’t blame it on someone else, or pretend it wasn’t you because remember: your the only person you would be lying to.
Short ‘n’ sweet post but here are some quotes (as always! โค)
What did you think about this post? // Sorry for posting on June 1st but pinch punch first of the month no returns! โค // Have any quotes to share? // Is there a mistake you made that you would go back and change? // Hope you enjoyed the post โค
That’s a wrap!
This is a very encouraging post. Thank you for it. I love the quotes. Too often we feel like failures, defined by our mistakes, but that was never the point.

Aditi ๐
Yasss #RightBackAtYou!! ๐๐ We literally have our own popcorn language aha, it’s amazing ๐๐ Aww, no worries! ๐ I’m glad about that, it’s so nice to know well I’ve made someone feel happier ๐ Tell me about it ๐
No worries! ๐ OO, that’s so epic! You have like an exotic name, I’ve always wanted one of those aha x That’s cool! ๐
Amber x
ps. We are literally meant to be blogging friends: we both have an obsession with blue hearts ๐๐ ๐
Aha it’s beautiful *thinks furiously about popcorn puns* ahhh- it’s a MAIZE of words?? xD nahhh ๐ HEY THANKS it’s not even unusual but I’m getting a lot of people asking about my name lately ๐ haha xx thanks?
p.s. um it was destined from birth ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐Aw I’m a popcorn!!!๐๐ Also the whole we make mistakes we’re only human reminded me of myself a few weeks back. Like I forgot to tell my parents about paying my school fees and we had to go meet the manager to pay it. And I remember the night before I was practicing what to tell him and that was like my dialogue ๐๐
Yass ๐ Popcorns for life ๐๐ Wow, don’t worry that’s literally me aha โค Like we make mistakes like that all the time, and it’s totally fine! I’m so sorry for late reply ++ if I’ve not been keeping up with your blog just haven’t looked at blog for whole week xx
Thank you so much tho!
Amber x
Aww lovely post girl!! FLICK AND A KICK FOR BEING SO QUICK ๐
Thanks so much โค Aha, yes, sharp ‘n’ sweet (I think sharp sounds better ๐) xx
Girllll this was amazinggg! Loved it, just what I needed at the start of the day (itโs 4:48PM here but since itโs Ramadan my sleeping schedule is all messed up and I only woke up thirty minutes ago ๐)! Everything said here was so damn true and really inspiring! Loved itt xo
UniquelyMe โ๏ธ
Aw, thanks so much UniquelyMe โค Ahh, that sucks. Like no food or drink? How are you coping. That’s also crazy, but like I guess it was a nice, inspirational start to your late-starting day ๐
Thank you so much and sorry for late reply ๐
Amber x
ps. Ig I’ve not been keeping up with your blog, I am SO sorry just things have been cray and just haven’t had time to go on my blog at all xx
No problem! โค๏ธ Yeah, but itโs surprisingly not as hard as people think! Itโs over now, though, weโve just had Eid so back to normal (;
If Iโm honest, I kinda miss Ramadan!
Again, youโre welcome!
Awh hey donโt even worry about it! Life definitely gets wayyy too busy sometimes and I get that! (Like, I took a six month hiatus once ๐) Write when your heart tells you to, as a lovely blogger once told me xo
UniquelyMe โ๏ธ
Wow! โค I’m pretty shocked at that. I really want to give it a go sometime but then I’m not part of the religion so I feel like people will think I’m mocking them โค
Aww, thanks for understanding โค I know right, it’s so stressful sometimes to keep up with everything! x That’s so amazing and great, I’m planning probably to save that fr when my exams start, as I don’t want to always be going on hiatus โค That is such a lovely quote, gahh I love it, so motivational and inspirational! That was a mouthful xD
Amber x
Yeah, right? And nooo donโt think like that! I know a few people who fasted for a day just to try it out – itโs not called mockery, itโs just called being curious! Donโt let other peopleโs opinions stop you from being you and doing something you want to do! Itโs your life – everyone else can just… buzz off ๐
No problem girl, Iโm just about catching up with my blog and basically everything else after so long, trying to keep myself together here ๐ Letโs do this together, girl, I believe in you ๐๐พ Haha I know right! Credits to Suzanne, and Iโll send you the link to her blog later xo She commented it on one of my posts once and I really liked it – just stuck in my head since then.
UniquelyMe โ๏ธ
Aw, thanks UniquelyMe! โค Yes, I literally might give it a go next time because I’m really curious, you have inspired me! I’m just interested, so thanks so much for re-assuring me and telling me โค Exactly! I’m glad you phrased it like that ๐๐
I know right! Same here, it’s so stressful, blogging is like a train and once you fall off you have to run real quick to get back on again ๐๐ That was a terrible example but I think you understand what I mean ๐ Aw, thanks! Right back at you, we can jump on that train ๐๐ That would be great, she sounds like a lovely blogger xx Definitely, things like that are important to remember โค
Amber xx
No problem girl! xo Honestly, itโs definitely an experience! ๐ So so true, thatโs like the best way to describe it – itโs so hard to keep up, especially with all these amazingly professional bloggers out there! Like I know someone who got to 500 in ONE YEAR! How crazy is that?!
Very true โค๏ธ
UniquelyMe โ๏ธ
Thanks!! x ๐ Yep, I love trying new things, new experiences all of that so it’s going to be good I think aha. I know – it actually seems like a good example now ๐๐ I know right – those super, organised bloggers out there who manage to post 3 times a week and just how?! I struggle to post once *facepalm* xD Oh my gosh! 500 followers?! xx Or posts?! Cuz both are insane xx
Amber xx
Yeah, I think youโll definitely enjoy it (: I know, right??? Like I have SO MUCH on my plate right now, with like a million exams, and Iโm probably gonna start getting tuition soon, so thatโs just going to be more that I can handle, but ugh I guess I should try? ๐ Whoops, should have made that clearer, haha, yeah 500 followers! I know, right?!
UniquelyMe โ๏ธ xox
Awesome! ๐ I can do a blog post post about it – add it to my TBP (To Be Posted – I just invented it aha I think aha xD)! Gosh, I know what you mean, I have a grade for my violin ( I have to practice every day for a freakin’ hour liker what…?!), lots of revision for exams, behind on blogging goshhhhh. Good luck on the tuition ๐ Give it a go, like just organise your time I guess *look at the most dis-organised person ever giving advice LOL*! x 500 followers…?! That’s flippin’ crazy! I reached my 6th month blogging and hadn’t reached 100 ๐๐
Amber xx
ps. Your going to be fine with everything! Just keep muddling through I guess…?! Just don’t stop blogging, I’d miss you wayy too much! xx
Yes!! That would be amazing!! Ooh I like the sound of that actually, TBP ๐ Like TBR but with blogging ๐ Oh wow that sounds hard! Hope it goes well – fingers crossed! Same oh my god I just feel so guilty but like… ๐ญ Thank you, Iโm dreading it ๐ Haha thatโs me in my whole life ๐ Awhh donโt even worry about it, girl! Youโre such an incredible person and I have no doubt that youโll get there and further sooner than you think xox
UniquelyMe โ๏ธ
PS/ Awh youโre so niceee asdfghjkl thank you so much! Iโd miss you too (: and speaking of, thank you so so much for the nomination!
Hey gurl ๐ Yess! It’s such a cool abbreviation, huh?! Exactly! It’s like the blogging version of TBR ๐ What can I say, don’t expect any less from a genius ๐๐ Just kidding, I’m not a genius. Not even close aha xD Me too! And thank you so much – trust me, aha, it is ๐๐ I get you, and don’t feel guilty ๐ Aw, don’t worry, it will be fine ๐ You might just enjoy it…?! xD Tell me about it! Somehow I can give good advice to other people I just don’t seem to be able to do it myself ๐ Aww, thanks so much UniquelyMe, that means so much to me x That has literally made my day -thank you!! xxx ๐๐ We’re at 72 so I’m really happy!! x
Amber xx ๐
ps. Thanks so much ๐ No worries, yess girl don’t leave me on blogging!! x No worries – hopefully you enjoy doing the tag but no worries if you don’t want to do it ๐ x
Haha yesss #AmberIsAGeniusPopcorn (ooh Iโm using your words are you proud?) Nooo Iโm sure you are! Ahaha same here! And no worries – Iโm just telling the truth! xox
UniquelyMe โ๏ธ
PS: Literally no problem! โค๏ธ Haha nooo Iโm really excited for it! Sorry if I made it seem like I didnโt want to do it – I genuinely did, but Iโm on my hiatus right now and SO MANY EXAMS! So Iโm probably going to do it after my hiatus xoxo
Love the quotes! And ooooo whatโs going on in your May reflection (I am now excited! ๐) Good luck with your new schedule & hope you have an amazing blogging month too ๐
Thanks so much El โค Aha, not much but just a lot to spill this month โค I just want to say I’ve also started reading Heartless (it’s so good!! โค) and so sorry for my late reply ๐ Aw, thanks so much my schedule has already failed so I think I have given up, this is the final straw aha ๐
