We’re Human Beings, Forgive Yourself And Be Happy

Sometimes, I have an uncanny feeling for something that I did (or didn’t), for something that I have (or haven’t). I feel like an alien, someone who’s different, or unique. Some of my irrational behaviors, insecurities, mistakes, and lack of skills, make me feel ashamed, inferior, powerless, and embarrassed.

You know that time you can’t do a thing properly (properly for you because in someone else’s mind it’s fine). Your inner voice saying: “you should do it this way”, “you should try that out “, “you have to pay attention to that”, “this mistake again?”, “Oh my goodness you’re terrible at it.” All of this inner talk hurts you, and most of the time you’re beating yourself up unnecessarily.

Oftentimes, we think that the dark side is exclusive to us, that only we feel it. But remember: you’re not alone. You’re not the only one who struggles with that. When I say this, take it to heart.

Paying close attention to friends’ complaints, fears, and mistakes, I notice that people also face similar problems like me. What differentiates us is the characters and the repertory. As sadness, disappointments, fears, are off-limits topics, we feel like the problem is just with us, but not, we’re all human beings, we all struggle. For sure, what you felt or did another person in the globe also felt or did.

When you forgive yourself for your mistakes and flaws you take the weight off your shoulders, you live a better life, and you move on.

Thinking that I’m a human begin, helps me to calm down my mind and makes me accept my imperfect nature.
