Forgiveness.

At times it feels as though time will not allay the fears deep seated into the subconscious. It seems to merely keep the emotions in check until that careless moment when you think you no longer have any fears and then, it strikes fast as lightning. 

If we don't learn to own our emotions, no matter how futile it may seem at times, then our emotions become the burden that breaks us. We carry so much guilty through our lives, small miss givings, big arguments. These never seem to fade too far from the surface, and then rehashed when it's convenient for the other party to hurt us. These emotions keep reappearing and boiling over because we do not allow ourselves to be forgiven. We can never expect the other person to forgive us for whatever wrong we may have done, but we forgive ourselves for any harm, done with malice or ignorance, that we may have inflicted upon each other. 

It is alright to forgive yourself and the other person. You are the only one that has the power to create a better mind and purer heart. Forgiveness is such a powerful act that once you have forgiven yourself, it will be easier to forgive others, and they in turn will learn from the kindness and pay it forward.
