It\u2019s a quiet truth that brings both peace and humility.<\/p> <p data-start=\"942\" data-end=\"1198\">I\u2019ve never been a person full of regrets. Maybe I have moments of <em data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1047\">\u201cif I had known then what I know now\u201d<\/em>, but not regret in its destructive form. Because I know that at that time, with the understanding and awareness I had, I truly did the best I could.<\/p> <p data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1437\">Sometimes I even laugh at how seriously I took some things \u2014 how much energy I gave to people or situations that now wouldn\u2019t even make me blink. But that\u2019s how life shapes us: through small and big missteps that only make sense later.<\/p> <p data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1741\">Forgiveness, especially <strong data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1483\">self-forgiveness<\/strong>, is a tricky thing.<br data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1506\" \/>It\u2019s not like cleaning a table where you wipe off the dust and it\u2019s gone. No, forgiveness is more like a boomerang \u2014 it comes back, again and again, sometimes gently, sometimes hitting you right in the heart when you least expect it.<\/p> <p data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1961\">You can say <em data-start=\"1755\" data-end=\"1772\">\u201cI\u2019ve moved on\u201d<\/em>, but one random memory, smell, or song brings it all back. That\u2019s the thing \u2014 we never really erase the past; we just learn to live with it without letting it control the steering wheel.<\/p> <p data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"2254\">In <strong data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"1980\">psychology<\/strong>, they say awareness is the first step to healing.<br data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2033\" \/>In <strong data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2052\">spirituality<\/strong>, the Vedas teach that karma is not punishment \u2014 it\u2019s guidance.<br data-start=\"2115\" data-end=\"2118\" \/>And in my own understanding, both meet somewhere in the middle: life gives you back what you need to understand, not what you deserve.<\/p> <p data-start=\"2256\" data-end=\"2522\">Sometimes I sit and wonder why I think so much, why I analyse, question, feel deeply, then write it all down as if I were a philosopher who missed her calling. But then again, maybe that\u2019s exactly what I am \u2014 a thinker in a world that often runs too fast to think.<\/p> <p data-start=\"2524\" data-end=\"2757\">I\u2019ve made mistakes, big and small. I\u2019ve trusted people I shouldn\u2019t have, said things I wish I hadn\u2019t, and stayed silent when I should\u2019ve spoken.<br data-start=\"2668\" data-end=\"2671\" \/>But I also know \u2014 I wasn\u2019t careless, I was just unaware.<br data-start=\"2727\" data-end=\"2730\" \/>There\u2019s a big difference.<\/p> <p data-start=\"2759\" data-end=\"2953\">Now, when those old memories knock at my door, I don\u2019t fight them. I let them in. I let them sit. And when they see I\u2019m not giving them much attention, they quietly leave.<br data-start=\"2930\" data-end=\"2933\" \/>That\u2019s my process.<\/p> <p data-start=\"2955\" data-end=\"3084\">Regret is useless \u2014 that\u2019s my mantra.<br data-start=\"2992\" data-end=\"2995\" \/>The past has no expiry date, but it definitely loses taste when you keep chewing on it.<\/p> <p data-start=\"3086\" data-end=\"3219\">I remind myself: <em data-start=\"3103\" data-end=\"3217\">If I stay there too long, I\u2019ll get stuck \u2014 and that\u2019s not just sad, it\u2019s stupid. And I am definitely not stupid.<\/em><\/p> <p data-start=\"3221\" data-end=\"3413\">So yes, I didn\u2019t know better before. But I do now.<br data-start=\"3271\" data-end=\"3274\" \/>And that\u2019s the point of being alive \u2014 learning, messing up, realising, growing, forgiving, and laughing at it all when the storm settles.<\/p> <p data-start=\"3415\" data-end=\"3668\">What I understand is this \u2014 maybe that\u2019s what forgiveness really is, not a sudden enlightenment, not some holy moment of release, but a slow, ongoing conversation with yourself where you learn to say, <em data-start=\"3616\" data-end=\"3666\">\u201cI see you. I understand. And I still love you.\u201d<\/em><\/p> <p data-start=\"3670\" data-end=\"3839\">And then comes the harder part \u2014 the question that sits quietly behind that sentence:<br data-start=\"3755\" data-end=\"3758\" \/><strong data-start=\"3758\" data-end=\"3779\">Do I love myself?<\/strong><br data-start=\"3779\" data-end=\"3782\" \/>Can I look into the mirror and say, <em data-start=\"3818\" data-end=\"3837\">\u201cYes, I love me\u201d?<\/em><\/p> <p data-start=\"3841\" data-end=\"4023\">To be honest... not yet.<br data-start=\"3865\" data-end=\"3868\" \/>Maybe because I\u2019m not ready.<br data-start=\"3896\" data-end=\"3899\" \/>Or maybe there\u2019s a deeper truth I still need to understand \u2014 one that will let me, without doubt, say, <em data-start=\"4002\" data-end=\"4021\">\u201cYes, I love me.\u201d<\/em><\/p> <p data-start=\"4025\" data-end=\"4409\">But what I know for sure is this: I accept me.<br data-start=\"4071\" data-end=\"4074\" \/>I know I\u2019m far from harming anyone, at any level.<br data-start=\"4123\" data-end=\"4126\" \/>I know the good sides of me \u2014 and even the \u201cbad\u201d ones, as people define them \u2014 because deep inside, I know I\u2019m still learning. I know there are lessons waiting, things I must still uncover about myself.<br data-start=\"4328\" data-end=\"4331\" \/>And perhaps that\u2019s what life is \u2014 the art of knowing yourself and owning it.<\/p> <p data-start=\"4411\" data-end=\"4712\">The Vedic teachings say that true knowledge is self-knowledge \u2014 <em data-start=\"4475\" data-end=\"4488\">Atma Vidya.<\/em><br data-start=\"4488\" data-end=\"4491\" \/>To know the Self is to dissolve illusion. And maybe forgiving yourself is the first step toward that. Not as a ritual, but as a recognition that the divine in you is still unfolding \u2014 imperfectly, beautifully, honestly.<\/p> <p data-start=\"4714\" data-end=\"5137\">I still remember being a teenager, sitting in a math class with a teacher who simply did not like me. I tried everything \u2014 preparing, studying, trying to prove I understood the chapter. But my efforts meant nothing.<br data-start=\"4929\" data-end=\"4932\" \/>He\u2019d give me the lowest marks, sometimes without even checking my paper. I talked to my parents, but they didn\u2019t see it. They said, <em data-start=\"5064\" data-end=\"5119\">\u201cHe must have a reason \u2014 you must\u2019ve done something.\u201d<\/em><br data-start=\"5119\" data-end=\"5122\" \/>But I hadn\u2019t.<\/p> <p data-start=\"5139\" data-end=\"5450\">I remember the fear, sitting like a stone in my chest during his class. How I\u2019d shrink, trying to be invisible, wishing the class would end.<br data-start=\"5279\" data-end=\"5282\" \/>Later, when the truth came out \u2014 when he was caught for unfair treatment and eventually expelled \u2014 no one said sorry to me. My parents never even brought it up again.<\/p> <p data-start=\"5452\" data-end=\"5835\">For years, I carried that silent ache \u2014 not just because of him, but because the people I trusted most didn\u2019t believe me.<br data-start=\"5573\" data-end=\"5576\" \/>It took me years to forgive that feeling, that lonely sense of not being seen.<br data-start=\"5654\" data-end=\"5657\" \/>And now, as an adult, I see it differently. My anger wasn\u2019t really toward my parents \u2014 it was toward a system that taught them to trust authority more than their child\u2019s truth.<\/p> <p data-start=\"5837\" data-end=\"6015\">So yes, I forgive them. But more importantly, I forgive <em data-start=\"5893\" data-end=\"5901\">myself<\/em> \u2014 for holding on to that pain for so long, for believing that not being believed somehow meant I wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p> <p data-start=\"6017\" data-end=\"6136\">That\u2019s the circle of forgiveness \u2014 it keeps returning until you learn to meet it with softness instead of resistance.<\/p> <p data-start=\"6138\" data-end=\"6423\">So when I say I\u2019m still learning to love myself, I mean \u2014 I\u2019m still learning to see all my younger selves with compassion.<br data-start=\"6260\" data-end=\"6263\" \/>The scared girl in the math class. The woman trying to be perfect. The thinker who sometimes feels too much.<br data-start=\"6371\" data-end=\"6374\" \/>All of them \u2014 parts of me still becoming whole.<\/p> <p data-start=\"6425\" data-end=\"6600\">Because forgiveness isn\u2019t about being perfect.<br data-start=\"6471\" data-end=\"6474\" \/>It\u2019s about being honest enough to say \u2014<br data-start=\"6513\" data-end=\"6516\" \/><em data-start=\"6516\" data-end=\"6598\">\u201cI did the best I could. And if that wasn\u2019t enough then, it\u2019s still enough now.\u201d<\/em><\/p> <p><\/p> <p><\/p> <p><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1549"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2304,"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1549\/revisions\/2304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chireveti.com\/pl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
