Somewhere in this world, in a corner untouched by disappointments, a version of you was born that never made a mistake.
A version that resembles you in genes, but diverges from you in every path you chose and regretted.
Her appearance?
Her face is soft as if life has never touched it with disappointment.
Her eyes do not shy away from the mirror, but look confidently, finding in the reflection a friend, not an opponent.
Her features are not more beautiful than yours, but she is at ease, and therein lies the true difference.
Her life?
She walks in a straight line drawn with precision, never stumbles, never apologizes, never reconsiders.
She makes the right choice the first time, accomplishes without stress, and loves without fear.
Every door she opened was waiting for her, and every decision she made was correct.
Her view of herself?
She sees herself as complete, lacking nothing to be worthy, and no one disturbs her certainty in herself.
She is not arrogant, but confident as if she has never been wounded before.

As for you...
You are writing this question.
It means you have seen in yourself something worthy of contemplation, doubt, and perhaps forgiveness.
You were not an ideal version, but you were brave enough to stop and ask.
Did you make mistakes? Yes.
But did you not create from those mistakes a thicker skin and a deeper tenderness?
Did you not become a human who knows regret, not a robot that follows programming?

So, who deserves to stay?
The version that never made a mistake... beautiful, but strange to us.
A version that has not been tainted by weakness, but also has not known the meaning of learning, nor the taste of forgiveness.
