#forgivemore

Over the past few years, I’m constantly learning about myself on a daily basis. I progressed as an individual and I’m bound to learn from my mistakes. This eventually leads me to to how I view people and the people I surround myself with. One of the biggest obstacle I had difficulty overcoming was controlling my emotions. I tend to let my emotions get the best of me and it makes me lash out on everybody and anybody. But that’s all part of growing up. 

Forgiving someone doesn’t necessarily mean you’re weak, but it simply means you have moved on. The world may not perceive it that way, but who are they to judge? Forgiving someone isn’t just for your own sake, but for the other individual sake as well. Forgiving someone is an opening door to a fresh new path. Like a clean slate. Whether it may be reconciling a relationship with a friend/relative or ending one completely. Whatever the case may be, forgiveness is a gesture that seems to be overlook when it’s encountered.

Pride and stubbornness gets in the way of life, and sometimes we don’t even know its presence. We’ve become so immune to it that it has become a lifestyle. Isn’t that sad? And the longer we let our pride and stubborness control our emotions, we will spiral downward towards a toxic life. The society today could be in a much more peaceful state of mind, but they choose otherwise.

One thing I will never understand and fully be okay with is not having closure. I don’t know why I still stress about closure, but I personally feel like closure is incredibly important. But I’ve already come to terms that not everyone is going to agree with me. Especially those who are on the receiving end. When they truly believe they have done no harm or wronged you in any type of way.... I. Don't. Know.
