Nobility in Compassion

agent of human change

Forgive yourself, for the way you treated you. Forgive yourself for stabbing you in the back, and allowing the shallow love of others to define the capacities of which you are able to harbour love within. Forgive yourself for overlooking your own value, simply because you were conditioned to. Forgive yourself for not showing you the love that you needed, and for resorting to believe you must require it from another soul. Forgive yourself for blindly trusting in your love for others, and for abandoning the potential of harvesting love within. It’s somewhere in the process of completely destroying yourself and fixing yourself, that you got a hold of and in touch with the abandoned version of you and let go of your inner sins. The one that’s been calling for your help each time you forgot to forgive yourself, begging you to forgive her. She’s calling, asking for your validity. “Love me. Recognize me. Have trust in me.” That’s what she needs. She loves you in deed, but you were too lost to see. Holding a mirror up for you to see, she reflected the lights within you consistently. As you release the hate and distaste you hold so dearly, lights shine within thanking you for clarity. Forgive yourself darling, for the woman inside you wants more for your wellbeing.
