jaded, complicated
I have spent so much time holding everyone else to impossible standards, blaming others for my own misgivings. To forgive others is to forgive yourself, or so I've heard.
"Somehow they forgave each other, and I forgave them,just as I hope my own children will forgive me one day, when they emerge from the pearly haze of childhood and see me for what I really am: a human being, with all the ugliness and beauty that human beings possess."
