Forgive & Forget

In life, only one thing is certain, apart from death and taxes. No matter how hard you try, no matter how good your intentions are, you are going to make mistakes. You’re going to hurt people. You’re going to get hurt. And if you ever want to recover… there’s really only one thing you can say... Forgive and Forget.

Forgive and forget. That’s what they say. It’s good advice, but it’s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled… and old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for, is that one day we’ll be lucky enough to forget.

I think that sometimes, we must learn to forgive ourselves for the mistakes made, and only then can we move on to greener pastures. Else there will always be something holding us back, the fear of the unknown, or known... We are afraid to make the same mistakes, fall into the same traps, and walk the same path all over again... Only to end up where we started. Only to tell ourselves why did we ever, ever choose the same path...

We don’t like changes. We fear it. But we can’t stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow. Anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But here’s the truth; sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes… sometimes change is good… sometimes change… is everything. Sometimes, change is the only way out of the fog...
