We are all sinners.

I believe in the notion that all people deserve second chances. The understanding behind forgiveness. The verity that every truth has more than one side. The capability to listen to and appreciate an apology. The key to unlock the doors of ones future can be found by first opening ones- eyes, ears and heart. But there comes a time when you can only try to comprehend for so long...
I believe in forgiving but never forgetting when merited. I believe in never justifying a lie, but moving past the grief it ignited. I believe in setting down the shield that has been raised in fear, in order to understand that everyone deals with pain, acceptance, and thoughts that provoke sleepless nights. And I believe in everything happening for a reason, that friends are the hardest to forgive, and that we must try not to dwell on what could have been but strive towards what should be.
