Self Forgiveness, if that’s even a word.

By -

The world is a cruel place. And we are the world, committing cruelties like it’s our job.
But of all the pain that’s a byproduct of this cruelty, at least the ones we are sorry about, no one understands guilt better than the executioner. And no matter what you do, no matter what you say, no matter how you say it, (bet you were expecting another no matter, ha) No one will really ever understand how sorry you are. No one will know what it’s like for you when you’re drowning in guilt. At least not in as much accuracy as you do. And on the worse days, they won’t even believe you.
Only you know for sure that you are remorseful, only you really believe that it wasn’t intentional. Only you understand. It’s only fair that you be the first to forgive yourself. Yes, forgiveness doesn’t fix everything, but that first aid will you keep you alive. Of all the people in the world, you deserve your forgiveness the most. They don’t have to forgive you, but you do. It will mean way more when you forgive yourself. It will mean nothing if they forgive you and you don’t forgive yourself.
But again, if you do not feel sorry for yourself for being such a bad person and doing the bad things you did, then forgiveness isn’t what you are in the market for, you do not deserve it.

Remember, it’s alright to forgive yourself.

Let's go back to the Basics.

Abused by love.

The question usually is why I called my blog Basics. The answer is rather simple, the things I talk about are things we already know about, they're basic. All I do is provide a little retrospect and sometimes different perspective. I discovered that we know so much, but knowing only implies understanding, it does not mean it. What I'm going to be writing about below are things you know, and I'm sorry about the monotony but as you read this, it's of import that you pay attention; that you understand. So recently, one of the most urban and gorgeous person I know was abused, and talking to her I kept realizing that it's not that she didn't know, it's not naivety that gets people abused. It really isn't. As children of God, I find that humans, like their father, are very judgemental. And sitting in the seat of the judge means you feel pure, exempt from the happenings of those you judge. We convince ourselves that we would handle things better if ...

The Art of Gifting

I intended to write about this way early into last year because of how shit the gifts I received that year was, but life comes at you so fast I hadn’t gotten time to research and do the yadayada before writing an article such as this. But then I met someone that reignited that spark only this time it was different, the complete opposite. They gifted me with sequences that were the most thoughtful gifts ever, and I mean ever. But then it occurred to me that it was much more than the thoughtfulness of the gifts and thus we are here to explore gifting a little more. I am overflowing with emotion over those gifts as I write this; Before we delve into it, love languages are meant to be independent as well as integrated and as such, this article is not meant for gifters and lovers that only understand love in gifting rather this is an article for you if you intend to express a little more love into the world, to your loved ones, to your victims. You see dear reader, gifts aren...

Expectations

The most prevalent wrong advice I've heard is 'don't have expectations and you won't get hurt.' and while I would see where that comes from, I just go whotf. So I have two problems with this advice, one is "you won't get hurt?" And you people actually believe that,? How much longer are we going to deny the fact that like happiness, hurt and pain is what life is? I mean, don't you want character development? Ha. And two is "don't have expectations?" What? (You gotta say the "what" like @stacythiru does) So, you just get what you get and that's it? You don't get to yearn for more and better? That's bullshit if you ask me.  Basically, this is me telling you the thing about expectations. One, most expectations are natural. It's what's expected. Like you getting good grades, you might get told that you have to over and over, but you already know you have to. No one sits down and writes things they ...
