About Forgiving Yourself (English Version)


Once upon a time, I told a friend to forgive himself. I never thought it is not easy. The truth is, to forgive ourselves might be harder than forgive other people.

Every human do mistakes. We are human, no one is perfect. We all do mistakes sometimes, no matter it’s a small mistake or not. Maybe for a small mistake, it’s easy for us to forgive ourselves. But what if we did a VERY big mistake (in our opinion) ?

That’s the hardest part. As the result of doing a mistake, we might feel guilty. Feeling stupid. Or feeling very sad. The worst thing is, if we feel like we don’t deserve to live anymore. If you have or are feeling that way, don’t stop to try throwing away those negative feelings. It’s very hard, indeed, but it’s worth to try.

I think, the point from did a mistake is to admit our mistake, and the most important thing is to learn from it and promise not to repeat the same mistake. Especially because we know now, that we were wrong, now we have to live our life the best we can, and not keep regretting ourselves.

But I also understand, speaking is much more easier than do it. Because me too, still can’t forgive myself for a mistake I’ve done. But by keep being sad, we will only keep hurting the ones we love. And we don’t wanna do that, right?

Learn from our mistake, promise not to repeat the same mistake, keep living while keep trying to love the ones we love the best we can, and keep trying to forgive ourselves, maybe it’s the best thing we can do to redeem our mistakes.

Because only when we forgive ourselves, we will be able to love ourselves. And only when we love ourselves, we will be able to love others with all of our heart.

And trust me, you are not alone :)
Keep strong guys! :)
