Ergo, the Ogre

Today’s Sunday Writing Prompt over at Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie is Beautiful Mistake.

Did you choose the wrong partner, but developed boundaries and self-confidence that prepared you for the right one?

Did you accidently knock your coffee over your written manuscript, but when you re-wrote, it turned out even better?

Did you take a job you ended up hating, but made a new best friend?

You disrupted my life

from hello, and I let you.

Welcomed it even, all

the while knowing you

would turn out

to be one of my biggest

mistakes.

A mistake —

not a regret.

Never a regret.
