Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder,
Why do I tend to feel like such an outsider?
I begin to ask myself so many questions,
Like why I couldn’t be normal right from inception.
Maybe it’s an ODDITY
Maybe it’s an ABNORMALITY,
Then my reflection shouts back,
“No! You’re Just An Anomaly.”

"Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance towards a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness."
One major thing I learnt last year is that to forgive someone who has really messed up or hurt you is the hardest thing ever. Telling yourself that you forgive the person or the people and you're going to let things go is easier said than done. Most times it's easier to hold on to anger and resentment and thoughts of revenge but it's not healthy. Being let down is hard, I get, but you holding on to anger is actually hurting you rather than the other person. Anger has a way of consuming and controlling you and it rids you of positive things at that point. It will do more harm to you than it will to the the other person. One thing that helps is remembering forgiveness isn't something you do for the other person, it's something you do for you. Love yourself enough to forgive the other person because at the end of the day it's for your own good.

Forgiveness is you coming to terms with what has happened and letting it go. It doesn't excuse other people's actions or behaviors. We have to understand that everyone makes mistakes - everyone, including you and I. Sadly some mistakes have bigger consequences than others but mistakes are mistakes. All human beings are flawed, keep this in mind. Think about it this way, if you messed up you will obviously want those you hurt to forgive you. Forgiveness is you making peace with everything that has happened and letting go of past experiences or situations. You release yourself from a painful burden when you forgive. Truth is, everything that has happened had to happen and you can grow from it. There was probably something you needed to know or learn.
