Mistakes


Sometimes the best way to retain our happiness and sanity after making a mistake is to learn to accept the consequences of the action, letting go and moving on.  But many times we are obstinate and pretend to fix things by dwelling on it, apologizing, hoping for a new chance, investing so much time and energy into it when in reality it’s not very likely that you’ll ever go back to the original state.  When one truly learns from the mistake, he learns to forgive himself and moves on.  What is the point in dwelling?  No good comes from it.  In many cases things get worse before they get better.  Healing isn’t up to the person causing the wound, healing is up to the person who’s been hurt; they must learn to forgive and truly forget.  We can’t go beyond ourselves to correct a mistake when there are two people involved. 
I wish I was stronger than this.  This is what I’ve learned lately though.  Things aren’t now what I expected or wanted them to be; not even close!  Sometimes I think that it’s a little too late, now that there are feelings inside that just won’t disappear overnight.  But I also remember how I felt before, and well… I was happier.  I’m left with options on the table… and right now, the most logical, and smartest one is to just love me.  Love Just me.
