Forgiveness.

Forgiveness is a tough word. One that I have been struggling with lately. I am always one to give a million and one chances, even if that individual does not deserve them. But this time around something about me changed. I looked in the mirror and realized that I was worth more. That I deserved more than exhausting myself day in and day out to just be put back where I was yesterday. Sometimes we get hurt often and eventually it gets to a point where you start to think that maybe you deserve it. My advice to any and all of you is that, if you ever find yourself feeling that, take a long look in the mirror.

Look at your eyes, what color are they? what/who do you see? Look at your nose, are there any creases? Do you think its big or small? How about your lips? Your eyebrows and cheeks? Take that time in the mirror to remind yourself exactly who you are. And once your done, forgive. Forgive that person for ever making you feel less than you should. Forgive that person for ever doubting you, or speaking to you in a way you don't deserve. Forgive that person for the negative that they saw out of their eyes. Forgive them for not breathing you in day in and day out. Forgive them for the words that came out of their mouths that were hurtful, angry, and full of lies. Forgive. Because you are worth it. You do deserve the world, and carrying around all of that on your shoulders is only going to hold you down. And I don't know about you, but I refuse to allow someone else to control my happiness.

So yesterday, today & tomorrow I will no longer allow another person to treat me any less than I deserve. Because I know that I am worth so much more. I know that I am deserving. And I know that you are too! So let's take that look in the mirror. Lets remind ourselves of who we are. And remember, always forgive, never forget.
