Forgiveness

Dear diary,

A couple of days ago, I had one of those epiphanies that make me go "Aahhhh". Eight days ago, while I was reading Watermelon by Marian Keyes alone at Borders, this line struck a chord in me, Don't let pride get in the way of forgiveness. A line often said, but rarely practiced. I spent some quiet time by myself and I realised I'm ready, to forgive. I see no more reason to hold so much anger over what happened. However, I see 1,001 reasons to look forward to what's in store for me. Life can only get better, I say to myself, being the optimist that I am. I stand by life is short and only we have the power to make things right. No one's gonna do it for us. Be compassionate. No doubt I have been feeling this way for quite some time now. Just that now I'm finally ready to voice it out instead of it being just tiny voices inside my head. Be the bigger person.

Love,
Janna
