Caring ~

There comes a point in our lives when we do things or make mistakes we never thought we could be capable of.

That doesn’t mean that we are bad people; it only means that we are not perfect.

In those moments, everything is tested: our friendships, our relationships, who we are, and who we can still become.

In the process, we wonder, who will accept that we are only human and admit to making mistakes?

Who will forgive us and have enough faith in us to know that we will learn, grow, and change for the better?

And finally, who will unconditionally love us?

In those same moments, we begin to find the real ones, the best ones.

The ones who, no matter how tough and wild it gets, will always love us enough to stay and start over with us.

We may let these mistakes consume us and then define us, but we can always choose to forgive them, own up to them, and rise above them.

We should always know that despite these mistakes, we can become better people.

No matter who stays or leaves, fights for or gives up on us, we should never stop loving ourselves and believing in ourselves, knowing that we are not terrible people and that making mistakes happens, even to the best of us.

No matter what, we should never stop having hope, keeping faith, and believing that one blessed day, we will redeem everything and right there, we would know, as maturing and growing individuals, we finally got our second chance.
