Forgiveness is letting go of the hope that the past can be changed - Oprah Winfrey
I enjoy watching Oprah Winfrey very much. Ever since I was a little girl I would sit alongside my grandmother during the afternoons when she didn't have to work and watch Oprah and her yo-yo dieting self talk about self-esteem, rape, famous people, giving away random shit etc.
She mentioned the other day that we constantly consume ourselves with anger and hatred when there are people that hurt us in our life journey. You're letting your lives be controlled by other people if this happens. You are letting other people control your own destiny without even realizing this. I always say this to everyone around me...you control your own fate. You control your own lives. I know it's easier said than done. Well...I am going to tell you..you start with the act of forgiveness. Simply accepting what has been done in order to let it go and continue on your life journey. I know this sounds extremely trivial, but i'm writing this for myself to follow.

I was sitting by the volleyball court doing lines, when I realized how relax I feel. I cannot wait until I do not have to throw all of this information into my short term memory. I love sitting around and thinking about what I appreciate in life. I just can't with all of this random shit in my head. A year from now I will be able to do that...to do all of the little things I don't ever really do anymore because school is so damn time consuming. I cannot wait until I have the time to do some leisure reading at a nice coffeeshop on queen street west...or do some more music hunting (I definitely have not been doing very much of that as of late). I would love to pick up knitting again. I was cleaning up my room and I have half a scarf made...it's lonely and unfinished :(. I've started to become very interested in fashion and watching videos on different pieces from fashion designers. I would love to have the time to make my own pieces using the untouched sewing machine my grandmother bought me a few years ago. It's not only for my increasing new interest into fashion...but also because my grandmother taught me how to knit and sew when I was younger.
Other than the stress of school...I'm really happy right now. A lot of things are going very well right now. It feels good to wake up with a smile every morning because you are looking forward to the great things ahead of you.
