Forgiveness

How is it that someone can be both greatly idolised and vilified? But then again, it makes perfect sense. Things that seem contradictory or paradoxical often makes a lot of sense the deeper we look or from simply looking through a different set of lenses.

Forgiving someone isn't easy, but then again it is. Understand that the more we care about someone or something, the greater it'll hurt. Thus, the harder it is to forgive some might perceive. But it's this very essence of love and caring that makes us forgive said someone so easily.

What does it mean to forgive? Something that i've been contemplating the past couple of days. And the best I could come up with is..that it means to move on. To let go and understand that humans make mistakes. Let it go and never bring it up again. Because to forgive is to forget.

Some say "I forgive but I cannot forget."  Isn't that a little hypocritical? A little food for thought.

Like that quote, it goes something like "The worst thing you can do to someone trying to change for the better is bring up his past." Something like that. And it's true.

Haha okay if you haven't realised the new me is kinda philosophical. AND THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISH WHOEVER YOU ARE ON MY TAG BOARD (haha sorry!! A 6-month late reply is better than no reply right xD) And yes happyperson101, the op was kinda scary. Thanks fr the concern! ^___^ Glad that you're a happy person hah!

Anddd on a completely different note, I went driving on the road today for the first time! And there were so many lorries on the road! Cue heart-attacks one after the other haha. 2nd day on the road tomorrow insyaallah! And blogger says most of my blog's traffic comes from the PSL blog. Hmmmmmm......

It's been ages since i've updated this blog primarily because i've been using my tumblr account. But i feel like a cow everytime i write something really long on tumblr and it disrupts the flow of gifs and inanimate pictures...

I do miss writing and expressing myself freely. So i guess with that reason solely, i'll revive this blog.

The past few months (6 to be precise) has helped me grow in ways I never thought possible. The countless number of new experiences & challenges coupled with lots of free time to do some introspection and reflection has led to...self-discovery. With self-discovery came acceptance for who I am and explanations for the way I am as well as acknowledging my weak points. The hard part was just sitting still and letting my mind wonder and ponder..why, why and why. I guess my main goal is self-actualisation.

I really do feel as though I've changed. For the better i hope.
