Nicolás de Tolentino (detail) by Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, 1601.

If I am not worth your apology, you are not worth me carrying the pain that you caused.

So I will forgive you, not for you but for me

I deserve to let go.

I deserve to be free of your pain. And if you can't admit your own mistakes, I will not allow the ashes that your pain turned me into to hold me hostage.

“A moment we enjoy today will never return again. As waves beat against a shore, so do we inexorably grow older. Growing old is simply proof that you are living a natural life. Human live according to the dictates of nature. Change is a natural part of this.

Right now we have a chance to truly appreciate the joy of our life until now. But you can’t cling to the past. That will only lead to pain and struggle. Accept change and absorb whatever that is good to shape a new era.

We can’t continue to selfishly exploit the natural world. We cause forest fire, extreme weather and climate change. This is a wake up call. We must build a world in which we can live in harmony with nature. We need spaces that allow our spirits to commune with nature but such spaces are sadly rare in cities today. Spaces to allow people to stop, relax and just breathe.”
