Understanding of the Self

I need to get this out before I forget it! Please don't mock it! It's how I view everything really...
To everyone who has ever been depressed, has ever messed up in life, or has hurt or been hurt; today I speak to you. Not for you... But to you. For my heart reaches out as I try to explain this.

Humans are made the way we are made for a reason. It sounds like a bunch of BS to say everything happens for a reason, but it's the truth. It sounds like something someone who can't face their problems and accept responsibility would say. However, the truth is, the people that take responsibility are the ones that believe it happened for a reason.

Humans are bound to make mistakes. The problem comes in when we let that tendency to make mistakes come in and control our lives. We will forever torture ourselves if we can't let go of the past and forgive ourselves. For if we don't forgive ourselves, the forgiveness of others will never matter to us.

We have to stop reflecting on the past like we look in a mirror. You look in a mirror, see something you don't like? You try to change it... But the past isn't a mirror. You can't change what you don't like! It already happened. You can learn from it and don't repeat it, but you can beat yourself up over something you did by mistake.

Whatever the problem may be, you have to let it go and stop blaming yourself! Heck, it may be partly your fault, but it happened! Everything will happen as it happens!

If we, as human beings, would stop trying to play God, and we would just let things fall as they may... Well, the world might just be a better place.

  • Ugh. I know how you feel. Making mistakes. I've made one recently. Which i regret. I think I might be losing my best friend if I don't stop acting like an insecure little emo. I feel horrible beyond belief. So torn up inside. It's crazy. I know it's going to take a lot for me to be forgiven, if I do at all. I fucking hate myself for it now. -.-"

    Anyways. Sorry to ramble on.

  • Well......you got me pegged pretty well. I feel this way all the time. I try to let things happen, but I wind up blaming myself for the bad things that happen if I'm involved with few exception, although I realize that I can't change anything no matter how important it was to me.

    I have, however, started to forgive myself on some issues...so I suppose I'm making progress. No worries.

      I think I have a lot of people pegged pretty well. Including myself.

      As we all should do. Yay!

    The worse part is if your mistakes backfire on the people you love, or the people who matter. Than asking for mercy is all I can do.

      Even if they backfire on those you love, you have to let it go and just forgive yourself. Because their forgiveness will mean nothing to you if you can't even forgive yourself...

          *sigh* Prices are paid in the making of the mistake... To dwell on what will not and cannot change... will... well. It won't end well.

              Rawr. I give up... Apparently I am the only one who will ever understand what I mean.

              There is a point where self-pity becomes and indulgence and worries should be shed.

                  You appeared to be contradicting me.

                  Yay! I am agreed with! It took me a long time to think this through. But I did it. I wrote it down after I told it to a friend, who really needed to hear it. But... I probably just come off sounding stupid. Oh well.
