I had never realized how important it is to love and forgive yourself until a few months ago.
I was talking to one of my teachers about an issue I had and I told her, "Miss, I regret it. I don't know why I never spoke up or did something about it, I wish I had done something".
She turned to me and immediately told me, "But you forgive yourself don't you?"
I stopped talking for a second and thought about what she had said.
I realized that I should've forgave myself because I was young and didn't know better.
You see, we all make mistakes. NO-ONE is perfect. I can repeat this sentence a million times without getting tired of saying it.
We forgive others for making mistakes, so why can't we forgive ourselves?
Think of one of the worst things you've done. Or something you deeply regret. You wanna go back in time and change it, don't you?
You shouldn't. Because what's done is done. You might be so mad at yourself for doing something but you need to understand that it's okay, it truly is. It might be hard, but keep in mind that you probably didn't know better. Or maybe you did. Maybe you did yet you still made that mistake. But you're human, aren't you? You'd forgive someone you love if they made that mistake, wouldn't you?
We also need to realize that we have to love ourselves. Loving yourself is different than being self-obssesed. Love yourself enough to have self-respect. Because you are a precious soul. Each and every one of us is special.
Some of us think we're worthless. NO-ONE is worthless. No-one. We were all put into this world by Allah for a reason. You are worth so much more than you imagine.
Loving and forgiving yourself is easier said than done, but don't be harsh on yourself. Take it one step at a time.
You are beautiful.
If you need to talk, if you need too vent, if you're feeling down and you don't know what to do, you know where to find me. I don't want anyone to feel like they are worthless or like they don't belong in this world.
