An inspirational story detailing how we all can make mistakes, and that they can be overcome.
This is a story that is separated by two parts- the first is a depiction of the significant amount of mistakes made in the author's eventful life; the second part relates the mistakes of some more identifiable people to those of mishaps of ordinary people (the author). This publication phenomenally explains how we all are Far From Perfect.
Excerpt
I had gotten a phone call from a woman named Cathy. She left a message on our phone’s answering machine at the apartment before we moved out. She said that she needed to talk to me right away. I reluctantly called her back.
“I’m pregnant, and you’re the Father.” She said to me, emotionless.
“What?” I tried to stall.
“I am pregnant, and you are the Father.” She spoke slower, as if I didn’t understand.
My initial reaction was to deny everything vehemently. After all, I convinced Melissa that I had never touched the girl, and to do that, I had to convince myself of that same lie.
“Its not mine.” I would call her bluff.
“Yes it is. I hadn’t slept with anyone but you for the past year.” She claimed.
“Oh, that’s what they all say.” I would not back down.
“I just thought that you should know. I am due on Christmas day.” She mentioned, and suggested that I do the right thing, and become involved. I had planned to, but I had no idea how I would tell Melissa.
