1. When you make a mistake, do you make up excuses? If so, do you think people believe you? Is it right/wrong?
I think it is important to explain why things go wrong, but I also think it is important to tell the truth. Back in the days, I didn't lie, but I wasn't telling the truth either. It was something between, "white lies" as we say in Sweden. If I made a mistake. I always tried to fix it somehow. If I missed the bus, I could run. I would get there in time anyway. Nowadays, I am more confidence and can accept that things do get wrong, and things happen. It's not possible to control evrerything.
Is it something that people expect me to explain, of course I will do that. But sometimes I could just say "Sorry I'm late". It's not necessary to always explain in details. I was late, OK. The thing is that I excused myself.
Since I don't use to make up excuses, I actually think people believe me. That's what's happening if you can be honest most of the time.

hahaha, helt awsome namn petra!
I like what you've written and I think the picture is great!
