Forgive
Hello. This entry is dedicated to myself, here's the second note to self of 2016. I just feel like I need to write another letter to myself, this time I'll make it shorter though, just need to remind myself of some things. So here it is.

Dear self,
Please remember that you're healing, allow yourself to let go of things that's still haunting you. It's time for you to move on, past is past, what's done is done. You should stop feeling guilty. Forgive yourself, you always forgive others but not yourself. You need to be more gentle with yourself. Just forgive yourself, okay?

Dear self,
You should stop scolding yourself for not being productive enough. You don't need to be productive all the time, allow yourself to rest. You're doing your best. You're getting better at managing your time, that's a very good thing. In the same time you managed to keep yourself happy and well. It's okay to take things slowly. "Everything will be alright", I know you hate hearing that the most, but it's true actually. Everything will be alright, so don't worry much.

Dear self,
I'm so proud that you survived your darkest times. You're so brave for deciding to continue living, eventhough back then you felt like you've hit the lowest point of your life, you felt like everything's falling apart, nothing's going right and you just want everything to end. But you didn't give up, and look at you now, getting better day by day. I'm beyond proud of you dear self. You'll continue doing great things, you've a long way to go.

Dear self,
Stay strong, you deserve to be happy and loved. You're capable of many wonderful things, so keep going. You're not selfish for putting yourself first. Always remember that you were given this life because you are strong enough to live it. No matter how bad things may seem, never forget how much love you're surrounded with. The pain is not permanent, so keep fighting because one day you will know happiness better than any emotion you've ever felt.

It takes time to grow. It takes time to heal. It takes time to make what we really want happen. It takes time to let go. It takes time to make peace with ourselves. It takes time to forgive. Always be patient with yourself and forgive yourself. Not just once, but again and again. As many times as it takes to find peace.

You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live, you learn. You're human, not perfect. You've been hurt but you're alive. Think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy and to chase the things you love. Sometimes there is sadness in our journey, but there is also lots of beauty. Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. Bad stuff does happen, sometimes. Always remember that. But remember that you have to move on somehow. And with every difficulty, there is relief.
