Life can feel like a maze sometimes, an endless labyrinth of struggles and fears.
A tiny voice in my head keeps wanting to get out of this infinite cycle of suffering.
But how do we get out of it?
“To forgive;
To move forward;
To embrace the here and now.”
I realized that to be truly happy, we need to forgive. We need to forgive everyone who has hurt us, not because what they did is okay, but because holding onto that hurt only weighs us down. Forgiveness sets us free to embrace joy and positivity.
To be joyful, we also need to forgive ourselves. Forgive the past you who was naive enough to do certain things. Forgive yourself for every mistake you’ve made for every moment of embarrassment, guilt, and shame.
To be truly happy, you need to move forward. I know the feeling of wanting to be stuck at a certain moment just because it’s comfortable and safe. But like butterflies in the sky, don’t be afraid to spread your wings and fly. It might be hard at first, but eventually, you’ll feel so much lighter, like a weight has been lifted off your chest.
Finally, to overcome this suffering, you need to embrace the present moment. Be grateful for what you have now and accept the suffering along with all the feelings that may arise, whether they are good or bad.
