BUMMED

Yesterday was our prom night. Yes, it was fun. But I was picked up too early and thinking my friends have gone already, willingly went with my mom to go back home. I was not able to take photos with my friends. I was not able to dance as wildly as I want on the dance floor. I feel like poo. I missed out on a lot. :(

I can blame so many people for the missed opportunity. My mom for picking me up too erly. My date for not encouraging me to stay. My friends for "apparently" disappearing and not looking for me outside the ballroom. But in the end, it is only my own fault. My friends didn't know I was outside. My date didn't know I still wanted to stay. And my parents also didn't know I still wanted to party.

I hate feeling like this.

I shouldn't.

Was looking for things to cheer me up and these are some quotes I found that I feel ought to be remembered.

"The way to succeed is to double your error rate."
