You’re going to make plenty mistakes‚ then make the same ones again and a few more times. Life is about growing up and finding who you truly are.

False Times Frederick Douglass once said “ America is false to the past‚ false to the present‚ and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.” In my opinion I feel that Douglass is saying that America only chooses to accept the glorious past‚ ignores the mistakes made both in the past and present‚ and thus chooses to work toward the future with the same blinders it has used to understand the past.
