an attempt to tip the scales.

Forgiveness is never easy. Bitterness is easy, Hatred is easy. But forgiveness, that is a tough one. Sometimes people say things they don't mean or do things they can't take back. .We're all afraid of something. But in the face of that fear, i had an epiphany..... What i have done is who i am. But what i have done is not who i will be.. Unburden yourself from the mistakes of the past. And when you do, your heart grows stronger. But it doesn't mean that what you have done is forgotten and what you have done remembers. If you could go back and change one thing about your life, would you? And if you did, would that change make your life better? Or would that change ultimately break your heart? Or break the heart of another? Or would you choose an entirely different path? would you change just one thing, just one moment? One moment, that you've always wanted back. But in the end, I think our biggest regrets are not for the things we did -- but, for the things we didn't do. Things we didn't say that could've saved someone that we care about. Some of us escape the pain of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret because we're looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past, and sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change our own ways. There are many who couldn't ever understand, and sometimes I would walk among them. But even in those darkest hours, I knew in my heart, that someday it would return to me. And my world would be whole again. And my belief in god and music and love and art would be reawakened in my heart. And for the first time, in a long time, I feel like it has. And it made me wonder.... do we make the moments of our lives? Or do the moments of our lives make us?
