If you want to grow, you have to start letting go of the past and get out from your comfort zone.

Forgiveness? Such a single word but never an easy thing to do. It’s never gonna be easy especially when the person asking for it is the same person who loved and hurt you at the same time. It’s hard to forgive when you know that when you do it, you might love him again. And you don’t want to love him again. Because the pain you’ve been through the moment he walked away from your life is too much to bear.. again. Feeling pain is one thing. But feeling the same pain all over again is another thing altogether. And you don’t want that, do you?

But forgiving? It may have been hard to do but when you finally made it, you’ll be free from the shackles that have been locking you since the first time you hated him. Being freed from that horrible feeling will give you the most peaceful life you wouldn’t have imagined you will ever have. And being free from all the negative emotions resentment gave you will fill the spaces that have been stopping you to feel that contentment you’ve been looking for.

And yes, it’s hard to forgive. Because of all the things, forgiveness is the only thing that would hold you back from giving. But you know what? Being able to forgive is something that would always make you the better person you could ever be.

The question is, do you really understand or do you even know what you're asking for forgiveness? Or you're just saying sorry for the sake of saving yourself from the mistake that you've done, but you're not even aware what you did wrong?

Asking for forgiveness doesn't mean you just need to say sorry for what the hell you've done, but knowing and understanding also your mistake and then, try your best to make it right.

Tomorrow, today would just be a yesteryear for the most of us, but not for those who would still live in their pasts. Not for those who can't move on, forgive and forget. Six hundred and twenty seven minutes left before we welcome another beginning. Less than six hundred twenty seven minutes to fill the last page and still you're there. You are there waiting and struggling to carry out the past with you until tomorrow. You know it is but amazing how I, you, we have managed to flip every page of this written heart beats and memories of ours in this chapter of the book called life. And I think it would be more amazing if we would all be brave enough to leave our anxieties, hatred and all other negative thoughts and feelings before welcoming another series of pages, before welcoming another series of blessings of tomorrow. I believe too that it would be more amazing if we are to make new memories while carrying a big smile from tomorrows yesterday. I believe. Do you? So? Would you mind writing your day 365 with me?

To the last man I loved,

I am so happy that I loved you and I am more than happy because I no longer love you. I sounded hard there, sorry, but I am not trying to sound sarcastic there. I mean it, I am happy, thanks to you.

You told me that once we loved a person, we cannot un-love them; we just love them in a different way. I would like to disagree with you there. Right now, I don't love you in a different way, I love you in a special kind of way. This is a special love that makes me happy when I look back and remember the love we shared and how much that love changed me. A special kind of love that makes me smile when I hear your name as I remember how much your love helped me become a better person. A special kind of love that taught me how to let go and move on, a love that taught me how to accept things and be happy with it, a love that taught me that broken hearts heal in time.

When I last saw you, I don't feel any sadness and that means a lot to me. When I look at your eyes, I don't see the man I lost, I saw the man that I once loved. I finally reached the realization that I don't regret anything. I don't regret crying because you're gone or waiting for you for a very long time or missing all these chances. I thought I regretted doing these things but seeing you made me realize that I don't, because after all you're worth the tears I cried, the days I waited and the chances I missed. You're worth it, even if I didn't get the second chance I once hoped for.

I don't know if this is the last time that I am going to write you a letter. It's just, I am so happy we are friends. I'm happy we forgave each other and we're okay. I missed you so much. Thank you for this.

Until my heart love again.

 P.S. If you feel like you're lost, just knock in my heart, you know you have a place here no matter what.

If you want to grow, you must learn to let go.

Everybody has their own bad past. But if you want to move on, you have to leave your past and start afresh towards positive life. Let go whatever that stops you from moving forward. Forgive and forget.

Learn to forgive.

Forgive the people who have done you wrong in any way. The people who judged you without trying to get to know you first. The people who criticized the way you dress and act. The people who abused your kindness. The people who mistreated you. The people who broke your trust. Forgive those who left you when you needed them most. Those who took you for granted. Those who walked away when you pleaded with them to stay. Forgive the people who underestimated you and never believed in what you can do. Forgive those who crushed your spirit and broke your heart. Those who made you feel unworthy and not enough. Also, forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for being so trusting and stupid. For letting yourself look pathetic just to keep them. For thinking that you don't deserve something. For hindering yourself from being happy. Forgive yourself for not doing something you are supposed to do. For letting them break you. Let go of all those unkept and broken promises. Let go of the unkind words, of the negative memories. Liberate yourself from all the bad vibes because of holding grudges. Forgive and you will be free.

Paano mo ba siya mapapatawad? At ganun ba talaga kahirap magpatawad?

Sa totoo lang simple lang naman mag patawad eh, malaki o maliit na bagay man ang nagawa ng isang tao sayo. Simpleng "sorry" niya lang sapat at pwede na.

Pero pinagtataka ko lang? Bakit pag mga kaibigan mo ang nakakagawa ng kasalanan sayo hirap na hirap kang patawarin? Pero pag yung boyfriend/girlfriend mo isang "sorry at iloveyou" lang ok ka na? Mas mahalaga ba talaga ang love one kesa sa friend? Diba dapat mas pahalagahan mo ang kaibigan mo, kasi atleast yan nakakasigurado ka na hindi ka talaga iiwan at sasaktan ng sobra sobra.

Madali lang naman ang magpatawad, sobrang dali. Pero bakit halos lahat tayo hirap na hirap ibigay yan. At hindi pa natin yan maibibigay hanggat walang ginagawa yung taong may kasalanan satin. Tama nga sila na: Buti pa ang Diyos kayang mag patawad ng walang hinihinging kapalit. Pero bakit ang tao hindi ganun.

Kaya ba nating mabuhay ng may taong kagalit sa mundo? Hindi ba pwedeng lahat tayo forgive and forget nalang? Masaya mamuhay ng OK ang lahat. Wala kang pinoproblema o ano. Ngiti lang.

Kaya kung may mga taong humingi sayo ng patawad, patawarin mo na. Bago pa mahuli ang lahat.
