❝Are you doing well?❞
A very simple question,
but hard to answer.

Learn how to forgive in order to heal yourself and to move forward.

FORGIVING IS WAY different from forgetting; I can forgive without forgetting what people did to me.
I am not a forgiving person, to begin with. If people wronged me once, it's not a crime to easily forgive them because we are all humans who make mistakes. However, if people wronged me twice, I won't mind — I definitely won't mind cutting ties with them.
Tell me, am I too cruel just because I want to protect my peace?
Am I too inhuman just because I chose to disconnect myself from toxicity?
Once is considered a mistake, but twice is a decision people make. I have learned my lesson the hard way and soon realized that everyone around me is not a friend, and even my friends are not my friends. Just because we hang out every now and then, it doesn't mean they won't throw a stone at me. Just because we got each other's back, it doesn't mean they won't stab me from behind.
Life is not a fairytale.
Quit dreaming of a perfect life.
Life happened, and that's the worst part.
Sometimes, these scenarios in my head hinder me from a good night's sleep. All these bad memories haunt me, playing like a broken record inside my head. I am so lost in the dark, with no single light from a distance, and only running in circles.
I took a deep breath and finally asked myself, ❝What am I doing with my pathetic life?❞ It took me years to concede my stupid mistake in the past. It took me years to finally heal myself from the things that almost made me crazy.
Was I too dumb? Nevertheless, I have learned to forgive people for their mistakes, but never expect the same VIP treatment from me.
