“wishes are the ideas of a desire for perfection. but since perfection doesn’t exist, mistakes are made, and to balance the mistakes, forgiveness is needed”

life is not perfect; it is not completely without flaws. instead, it is filled with mistakes. too often, we wish for that perfection that never existed and engage ourselves toward a goal that will never be achieved. along the way, mistakes are unavoidable. but it is because of these mistakes that we learn how to live. it is because of these faults that we recognize something new in life, and from them, we learn to grow and mature.

some may say that there are no second chances in life. in some cases, it is true. we cannot always hope for a second chance just to strive to perfection. however, everyone deserves another chance to try their best at what he or she has always aimed hard for. and because of that, forgiveness is needed.

forgiveness is a way of telling others that you believe in them. it is a way of showing your support and encouragement that never lets them down no matter how deeply they have fallen. it pulls them back up on their feet and tells them that giving up is never an option. if you are not ready to give them up, neither should they.

love works the same way. many times, we may have our faults, and we will make mistakes. but if it is love, no matter what happens, you accept the apology, and you learn to forgive. you do not let them go because of one mistake because just like life, love is not perfect.

“if we don’t learn to forgive, we won’t ever learn what is love”
