Forgive and Forget

It is one of those days where you cannot stop revisiting old memories.

Contemplating whether you acted childish, unfairly or simply put: stupid. But going back to the past and thinking of what might have been does not help you live in a forward motion. And that is essentially what you have to do.  Unless you want to end up sitting in your home, alone, with a thousand cats as your only friends. Don't get me wrong - cats are cool animals, but they can't replace human beings as friends.

So what I am trying to say is that no matter how many regrets you have, or how often you relive that one moment: you cannot go back and change it to what you would have liked. All you can do is accept that is turned out differently, and live your life in such a way that you create moments you can fondly remember. Of course you cannot prevent things from happening that you will regret. But you can go about life with a positive attitude, taking everything as it comes and not reliving the past over and over, tormenting yourself over and over again.

In the end all that counts are the good memories we have our life. And most importantly try to love yourself some more. No one expects you to be perfect. You can make mistakes without being a bad person...

Thus, forgive yourself and others for messing up (by this I do not mean that you should forgive violence and abuse!) and forget all about trying to change things that happened in the past.






This song has been stuck in my head the entire day and somehow triggered my thoughts for this post. So I thought you might want to have a listen to it as well :)


So much for wanting to write more regularly and not too much about emotional outbursts. Oh well, I hope you can relate to what I was saying - or at least a bit.

See you soon,
