I find myself thinking about what I've lost and where I am. I hate myself for what I lost, for the pain I've caused, for the woman I broke. But those choices are in my past, where they will remain. I can call the one I hurt most asside from myself of courses, a friend. If nothing else I am truly blessed to be able to do that. Even if nothing grows from our friendship I still intend to spend my life showing her, the others I've hurt, and myself that I am a better man then they have seen so far. For that to truely happen I must first forgive myself.
Lost Druid,
I understand that everyone makes bad choices, you have made many. You have cost yourself, the future you had planned, and the woman you loved. You have pushed away friends and family, and missed out on being able to share g both joy and grief with others. You put yourself in a numb state and gave up on everything. Dispite all of that, I forgive you. Because you have chosen to stop your destructive behavior both to yourself and those around you, you have taken the first steps to becoming a real man. Someone who may one day even be trusted, someone who one day may even be loved. I forgive you because you are human, and we all make porlor choices. Move forward with your own pleasing. Be strong and take care of those you have neglected.
