You know that old saying “The truth shall set you free”, well from my experiences I believe thats very true. Have you ever done something you regret and tried to keep it a secret so no one would find out but yet it stays in the back of your mind?... You worry about what people will think of you if they knew, or what you’ll lose if you confessed. That little voice just keeps reminding you of the wrong you’ve done and it leaves you in a feeling of regret. Well that little voice is your conscience. Whether you’ve lied, cheated, killed, stolen, or just simply betrayed someone close to you, your conscience doesn’t let you forget and alls you can think about is that very thing that you're trying so hard to ignore and erase from your memory.
I think we’ve all been there before. It doesn’t mean that you are a bad person it just simply means that you’ve made a bad choice. We all make bad choices after all, were all human. Its okay to feel bad about something you did wrong, thats your humanity, thats what determines what kind of person you truly are. A person with no feelings is just as good as dead in my opinion. If you can do something so terrible and not think twice about it that means you have no conscience. What matters is what you decide to do to fix it after you have done something wrong. You can either try to cover it up or you can confront it. You can accept that you made a mistake and learn from it, or you can let the guilt consume you. Whatever you decide is your choice but there is always consequences and sometimes some are worse than others and always keep in mind that karma does exist.
Forgiveness is also important when seeking peace. In order to be free you must forgive or else that pain or anger will always consume you. You’ll never be able to be truly happy until you forgive and let go, that doesn’t mean that you‘ll forget. Forgiving someone who’s harmed you in some way whether its mentally, physically or emotionally can be one of the hardest things you’ll bring yourself to do. It’s not something that happens overnight and in some cases it takes a very long time but it has to be done in order for one to be free, not only for the other person but for you as well. We shall not be judged by no one, and we shall not pass judgement on others. Meaning, if we want to be forgiven for things that we’ve done wrong than we have to forgive those who trespass against us as well. In my religion, it is my duty to pray and have faith. When I do something wrong, when I’m feeling hopeless or hurt, when I’m scared, or even when I just need help making a decision, I pray about it. I let go and I leave it up to God.
I've been on both sides of the ropes. I’ve made some bad decisions and I’ve been crossed by people that I cared deeply for. I can accept this because I am not perfect and I know that I will make more mistakes as I grow older. However, I am proud to say that even though I can’t take back my mistakes, I have chosen to accept them and learn from them. I have also been betrayed and hurt by someone I trusted. My blood cousin. She slept with my ex-boyfriend and lied about it.
I can admit that for a while it hurt so bad that I felt anger and hatred towards them both. I was becoming bitter and miserable. The more I prayed about it , the better I felt and in time I was learning to forgive. Even though she didn't admit it until years later, I had already began to forgive them. As each day passes I feel closer to peace, capable of love and happiness and much stronger than I was the day before. This is all because I learned to accept the truth and now I am free.
