Yours Apologetically!

"In life, only one thing is certain, apart from death and taxes.No matter how hard you try, no matter how good your intentions, you are going to make mistakes. You are going to hurt people. You are going to get hurt. And if you're ever going to recover, There's only one thing to say. 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, nothing is ever settles. Hurts never heal. And the most we can hope for .... is to forget."  Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy.

We are all mistaken sometimes; sometimes we do wrong things , things that have bad consequences. But it does not mean we are evil, or that we cannot be trusted ever afterward. The same goes for the others.
We can all pretend to be as high up there as we wish to. But we're all aware that on the inside we're all afraid. At the end of the day we are all restless and worried. Scared and lonely. Lost and tired. And sometimes we're SO lost and confused and hurt that we just go to sleep. Luckily for us humans, this works more often than not. No matter how hard you try to give your best, remember you will screw up. No matter how much you trust a person,remember you will be betrayed. And no matter how hard you try to stay happy, you'll always find something to feel ungrateful about. It's in our system to find faults and to become the one at fault. We're human beings and that is our only saving grace.

How many of us are our own favorites? While there are some who cannot get over themselves, there are some who keep trying harder and are never satisfied with they have achieved. Most of the times, this attitude helps us to do better in life, but sometimes it can have negative effects on us. So, when we mess things up, or when we don't perform well on stage because of lack of practice, we are to be blamed. Yes . All I am saying is, get over it. It's OKAY to not do well. At the same time, make sure that the next time you put in all your hardwork and do the best. Just don't beat yourself up. It's okay. Mistakes happen and things do go wrong.

Someone once said , never go to sleep angry because you don't know if the person you're mad at will wake up the next morning. We never really pay any heed to such thoughts. We live in a world were life is taken for granted and the thought of kicking the bucket barely crosses our minds. It's ironic, though, to know that the ONLY thing that is certain in life is death. So the question is, if today was your last day, would you still hold a grudge against that person? Is it really worth that? I agree, you were hurt and let down, but again, they are human too. If you were in their place, you'd want to be given a second chance too. So, forgive them. It's okay. So, let go of the ego and mend things as soon as possible. And, although sometimes we forgive someone just because we need them in our lives, it's okay. At least we still have them as a part of our lives. Believe me, it is a lot to be grateful about .

So forgive yourself and the others. We really cant afford to lose time holding on to grudges against people.
The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize the situation is over, you cannot move forward.
