21. forgiveness is overated...

I will never forgive some of the people for what they have done to me, others, if they show some move towards repaying the debt they owe,I will be prepared to try. I doubt they even know how much they hurt me.

People tell me I'm not broken, but I know that I am. No matter how hard I try I will never fully heal. Why is that so hard for others to understand? It seems like the very concept scares the hell out of them, even the therapists.

I will never forget though... that can't be done. I don't buy any of this mindful 'Acceptance' bullshit either, I don't see why I should have to be the one who always makes room for the crimes of others.

As I haven't seen any convincing evidence of 'souls' I think we get one shot here and have to make the best of it.

All we can do is try.

It's a shitty world, but it's all we got.
