i must learn to forgive and forget. repeat.

i must learn to forgive and forget.

i must learn to forgive the bitc...i mean, person who so shamelessly flirted with someone i was dating and being utterly unapologetic even when confronted. she was even defensive and said that "i'll make sure you regret it. i mean it." ( with added menace included *snarl* ) as a parting shot.

i must learn to forgive my thoughtless cousin who always comes to me asking for money and then disappearing to go out with his friends on my birthday.

i must learn to forgive my friend who would rather head off to "go shopping for bags" on my birthday. yes, i am still bitter about it.

i must learn to forgive my mother, who never remembers even the biggest details of my life such as where i'm studying at or my age.

"but mom, i'm already working!"

"really? but isn't 18 a bit too early to start working?"

"mom, i'm twenty !"

i must learn to forgive my dad for remaining skeptical about my ambitions even until now that i've started to make a headway in my line of work.

i must learn to forgive the people who never returns frantic calls and messages. like when i was in one of my depressed bouts and i called someone who happened to be nearby but instead chose to hang out with his friends.

i must learn to forgive everyone who has snapped at me before, simply because i have my own little snappy tempers as well.

i must learn to forgive the screamers and crybabies on public transportation.

lastly, i must learn to be less paranoid and ease up a little.
