Forgive Me




Things matter even when you think they don't. They matter when you’re thinking about something else. Things are important when they’re not obvious, when they’re subtle, like the curve of a lip. They’re important in the spaces that most of us miss.

Because we don't know what matters until it passes us by. Until it's too late to grab it, hold it and say, "I'm sorry, I didn't know this mattered. I didn't know it was important."

You will say that the time for anger is now, that we have not been angry enough, that not being angry enough is the problem, and I understand that you have every right to be angry and I am angry for you.

And yet somehow, you and I must turn the anger into love. We must turn the black cloud of hate into light. We must turn war into peace. We must turn clenched fists into open hands. We must only perform miracles.


I am kept awake not only by the people that I hurt, whether on purpose or accidentally, I am kept awake by everyone I hurt unknowingly, who might still be hurt.
This is the hardest thing: You can never know how many people you hurt, just by being you.

I agree; everything that takes place in this life always matters, even if we are not aware that it does. Yes, there's a reason for everything that happens, especially to us in this life; regardless if it is negative or positive.

As always you have impeccable timing. I hurt someone I love and I don't know how to fix it, I hope my love can fix it. I hope and I pray.

There's always a time in your life when you're torn between the right thing and the wrong thing. If you love the person no matter what he/she does, always listen to your heart, our heart always speaks the truth. Forgiveness might not come easy but keep trying until your heart remembers how wonderful love is.

Everything matters and don't be saddened by certain circumstances, if the person truly loves, then he will forgive. Time will heal and when the heart decide it's always for the best. Be cheerful. Don't be sad.

Like having a direct line to god... You be me, I'll be you. Feel. Suffer. Understand what's driving the frustration & anger. Contemplate fair solutions. Report back. Let's get right with each other. There's no way to heal in silence unless we meet each other half way. Pick one layer,peel it back together. Got to be present to leave. Got to work together to be separate. Got to know something in order to forget. Tell me what I need to know, help me understand. Will let go of the rest.
