I had no intentions of blogging today – like any good procrastinator, I planned to put it off until tomorrow – but today evening, I watched something so compelling, so perspective-altering that I felt the need to write to you..
Like everyone else I've done my fair share of bad things. I have spoken badly to my parents, I have lied, I have stolen, I have cheated on test, and I have no need to hide any of it—any of my humanity—because the same feelings that have sometimes led me to do bad, have led me to do good, too. And the rest is pointless because you can’t view things through a black and white lens when we live in a Technicolor world..

The supreme act of courage is that of forgiving ourselves.
That which I was not but could have been.
That which I would have done but did not do.
Can I find the fortitude to remember in truth,
to understand, to submit, to forgive
and to be free to move on in time?
But less "I don't care" and more "I care enough to move on"
