Your Past

• The wrong life changing decisions you made (like marrying the wrong person)
• The useless degree you got in university
• Or not getting a degree at all (because you dropped out to pursue a career in music)
• For the times you didn’t say anything until it was too late
• For the times you said the wrong things (and ruined people’s lives) 
• For the chances you let slip by
• For all the right people you let down
• For never loving your family enough
• For running away ever so often
• For not planning for your present
• For losing your virginity to the wrong person
• For being born in the wrong family (believe me, it’s not your fault Bill Gates ain’t your dad) 

Your Present 

• For living a lie
• For being in the wrong relationship (and you know it) 
• For not reading as much as you ought to
• For giving up so easily when you know you shouldn’t
• For neglecting your health
• For not loving your family enough (we’re still on  this) 
• For settling for less (because you are so tired of trying and getting let down)
• For cheating on the love of your life
• For spending recklessly  
• For investing wrongly (MMM)
• For failing out of Medicine

Your Future 

• For all the right people you’ll walk out on
• For all the chances you’ll throw away (because you’ll still be scared) 
• For all the wrong things you’ll say
• For still not loving your family
• For not getting help when you needed it until it
• For not taking today seriously

I am tired of blaming and hating myself and I know you are too. We can go on and keep regretting, binging on coke (or cigarettes, alcohol – whatever your preference is)  in one pity party after the other, but that’s just too depressing and of no profit. Some things are hard to let go of, really hard. I have my own demons that keep me up at night and I know you have yours too. But for the sake of being better than we are now, please let’s just forgive ourselves. We might not forget now, but it’s all a step towards healing. And that is what matters – healing.
