You may not have a happy beginning...

I just finished watching Kung Fu Panda 2. I can relate to the movie. I didn't have a happy beginning but I do have a happy life now. We go through different experiences because it makes us who we are and who we will be in the future. Every choice we make determines our future. There are no such thing as coincidences. There are things that happen for a reason and I am a true believer of that.

This week has been amazing. I have been given so many opportunities and have said yes to all of them. A friend of mine was telling me let's say yes to everything. Well we did. There were a few times we did have to decline because we could have gone to jail or start a fight.

The weekend is just a few days away.

Forgive

When I was a younger, naive and stupid and someone did something hurtful or backstabbing I would never think about forgiving them.

Well that has changed. I mean I am still young, naive and sometimes stupid but I've learned to forgive.

My friend who is all about religion...and so that everyone knows..i got nothing against it. But my friend was saying "If Jesus forgave the ones that crucified him..why can't we forgive other people?" My friend went on talking about how the Pope forgave the guy that shot him. My friend had a point. I knew then and there that I had to change.

I told myself that this year is about change. Change for the better. Change for good. In reality, the you yesterday is not the you today.

I decided to call my ex. He was shocked that I called because its been 3 years. I told my ex that I forgive them. I told them that I was sorry that the relationship didn't last. He is now happily married and is going to be a dad soon. I was happy for him.

Then..I had to do the hardest thing. I visited my mom.  She was a hardcore meth addict and I hated her for most of my life. I never visited her but my older sister did. She would send us presents but i would throw it away. Her face lit up when she saw me. She ran and hugged me. Kissed me all over. We sat down and I told her I forgive her. I felt so stupid that I was mad at her. The drugs took over her life but she couldn't help herself. She got the help and has been clean for 10 years.

It was hard..but I had to go through with it. Forgiving her...Forgiving everyone.
