Please make corrections/edits to the following sentences:

I don't intend any kind of offense. If you feel that something has been said bad, then it's only because of my poor command over English. My words don't always follow what I really intend to say.

It’s a difficult question for any man to answer… Whether to follow his dreams no matter what… Or to give in slowly and let life lead you where it will.

Hi Jackson,

Even with the corrections the flow of your text still seems a bit unnatural. How about something like the following instead: "I can never find words to express myself exactly as I'd like, so if I've said something odd please don't take offence as this would only have been caused by my poor command of the English language rather than any bad intent."?
