forgiveness- what a powerful word. a word that can reverse everything in ones life...a word that carries so much weight...so much pain yet, so much freedom.

forgiveness, I haven't yet figured out how to completley forgive myself...
but, I do know it starts and begins with loving yourself unconditionally...
unwavering,

to not base self love on what you do...or what we've done
but, on who WE are, how far we've come, who we are Becoming..
and where we're going...

life doesn't give you destinations...
only routes, voyages, barren roads, isolated cities...

and on our way, society teaches us to love ourselves based on our performance,
accomplishments, the jobs we have, the familes we raise.
However, sometimes loving yourself for the quirky inconsistiencies,
the way you fight through the hardest circumstances,
the way you are unique and their will NEVER be another you...

sometimes self-love is all about simplicity...

having faith that we are better and greater than we give ourselves credit

forgiveness-- a word that cannot be given to others without first exploring what it means to establish self-love in our personal life.

I believe self-love is the bridge to self-forgiveness but, that doesn't mean the roads aren't rocky on the way there.
The tunnel is always dark but, light illuminates with hope on the other side for those who don't give up.

PUSH THROUGH...

its time for us to stop feeling guilty for being human, vunerable, REAL people, with real stories,
alive and surviving...life doesn't give us a playbook on the way. We have to make up the rules,
Therfore, we do get it wrong sometimes and we will continuously. Moving on is what counts,
its what will get you to the other side of the field.!

(((hugs)))

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...just my thoughts... I'm still thinking... the answer to this question will be a life long journey for me...
