To use the word "sorry", to apologize, is something that has become too easy lately. "I'm only human" is an often heard phrase.

I'm a soon to be GP's assistant. Next to that, I do reveal my secret project now that it's safe to do so: I will be a specialized nurse, specialized in emergency care in hospitals.

When I make a mistake, things won't be as easy as saying: "I am sorry, I'm only human. I'm just a student or teacher or a professional in some other line of work and making mistakes is only human."

When I make a mistake, people suffer. Patients' and families' lives are destroyed for a very long time. Patients die.

So when I have to live up to such a high standard, I can only hope the people around me to do the same.

The reality is that people don't, taking things for granted. For it's so frigging easy to say: sorry, I'm only human.
But it's so darn hard to erase a medical mistake, leading to someone's death. In that case, my humanity won't be an excuse for the mistakes made.

My reaction to the rubbish of "I'm only human"... My reaction to my stepmother, who used these words in court today, to apologize for her errors made when she destroyed my education and a good future, when she tried to drive me off the road, leaving me dangling with the nose of the car above the edge of the viaduct, for leaving me with such a fear for driving around with a black or red car behind me, I have to go back to the psychologist again...

In three weeks court will sentence her to something, or nothing, I leave that up to the judges.

---

On to better news, for I have had to vent atm...

Going to the cinema this evening, before that dinner in a fancy restaurant and, the best thing yet, I get to practice etiquette to school dropouts in society. Internship is fine for now and perhaps in April this year, I'm done with both studies XD

Wish me luck!

Sometimes we put so much trust and faith in other people, that it's difficult to believe that they are sorry. Especially when it was said in such an easy manner as it meant nothing. There's always a shadow of doubt in every "sorry" one hears later on.

Actions mean more than words. If you feel sorry for somebody, help him out. If you miss somebody, call him. If you love somebody, show how much.

There's no explonation of merciless actions your stepmother took. She knows it too, but she feels a need to excuse herself anyway. But in her mouth "I'm human" sounds more like "I'm monster" to me.

I believe you're truly wonderful woman, my dear. I trust you with all my heart. And I admire you. Even a person like your stepmother didn't manage to crash you - it shows how strong and determined you are. Please stay like this, and never change. <3

Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me :hug: and you're absolutely right.

well... all I'm doing right now is moving on with life, for there is no point in stalling that, though I do hope she's to be punished. Or at leas that she knows there are limits in what she wants, and what is reality. For what she wants, will never be reality.

You don't need to thank me, I'll be always there to listen if you want to talk :hug:

I believe she'll get what she deserves. All the bad actions which she took will return to her one day. Whether in prison or in large.. there's no way of escaping from it anyway.

Please do stay focus on yourself. Be confident in your skills, be brave, be simply yourself. Enjoy your life, don't negativity to let you down and have fun - we live only once Sweetheart. :hug:

Mijn soort van motto(?) Is inderdaad al een paar jaar puur; we zijn allemaal mensen.
We maken allemaal fouten, we zijn allemaal anders en willen allemaal lekker ons eigen ding doen en een mooi leven opbouwen. Daarnaast gebruiken we helaas dus het woord "Sorry" allemaal anders.

Ik wens je t bestte toe en ik hoop dat je genoten heb van het Fancy Restaurant ;3 en natuurlijk de film!

Het is een mooi motto en je hebt gelijk, we zijn alas allemaal mens en we maken alas allemaal fouten. alleen de lat ligt voor de een wat hoger dan voor de ander.

Ik denk niet dat jou motto onder haar ideologie valt, tenzij je het net als stiefmama normaal vindt, dat je mensen van de weg mag rijden in Real Life ipv game? Sorry werkt in dat geval alleen in de game wereld, als je naast je vriend(in) zit, gamet en per ongeluk je partner overhoop schiet. Niet in Real Life zoals stiefmama bedoelde.

thanks ^^ het was overheerlijk en gezellig XD maakte een horrible day weer helemaal goed

Poor girl D: *hugs* I wish you the best <3 :huggle:
And yes 'sorry' is easily used, but then again I think it can still mean more then walking off with the head high ( but I wont forgive your stepmother for what she did, that's really unforgivable, even with a sorry >->; )

I thank you, my darling, and indeed, yes, it means more than just "sorry".

Though please, don't bother yourself with her. She isn't worthy of your time and effort, a complete waist of energy and I believe you can use your energy for more constructive things and events than this... this... downright retarded excuse for a stepmother. There are better stepmothers and -fathers in the world, and she brings them nothing but shame with her attitude. For this once, I'm happy that she has to answer for her actions, in a way she had never expected.

<3 Good luck next week.

Princess, to me, you are like a brilliant novel character: You are always surprising me with who you are and what you have been through. There is so much you're not saying out loud in the bright light of the day, and the funny thing is: you don't have to. Because you're my friend and I TOTALLY love you anyway! <3

I wish you all the succes and love I can offer you!

:blush: thank you so much for the compliment sweetheart :blush: though I hope the next chapter of the novel "Astrid" will be: nothing happened but happiness, cheerful events and lots of fun until the end of her long life, and all her dreams came true.

Something like Tolstoj's War and Peace, where he added several of those chapters about sweet little nothings and happiness at the end of his novel, to give room to the common folk, who's history will never be recorded and forgotten in time, a history without war and dreadful events. Something like that... I'd like that ^^;

Thank you so much! With a friend like you, no mountain is too high to climb!
