QotD is a feature dedicated to answering questions from Piccadilly’s 5 Year Question a Day Memory Journal. The journal states its purpose is to help reflect back on daily routine and to act as a “time capsule” of experiences. As someone who laments their awful memory, I thought this was a wonderful tool and opportunity.

How do you feel about second chances?

Oof, what a loaded question.

If I am being honest, it depends on the circumstances. For instance, my partner cheating on me? Absolutely not. There are a lot of people in my life who will never have a second chance to be in it due to their actions.

However, I think there is a lot of leeway for second chances elsewhere. Messed up the cake your making? Didn’t have good experience at a restaurant? Coworker had a bad day and lashed out? These are situations I could easily give second chances to.
