The Girl in Gucci Glasses

The season of giving and receiving is upon us.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ve certainly lived a full life.

Part of living life means knowing not only when to forgive, but also who to forgive.

This Christmas, forgive yourself.

Extend the same courtesy and limitless chances you give others to yourself.

You are allowed to make mistakes because it’s how you will learn, and more importantly: grow.

Do not be held captive by your past, or more importantly: mind.

Know that you did the very best you could with the knowledge you had at the time.

And of course: forgive those who hurt you. Hatred and spite will only wear you down.

While it might not mean much to whoever wronged you, it will mean a great deal to your soul.

Forgiveness will truly liberate you from your head to your toes.

It is a gift to yourself.

There is beauty and grace in being perfectly imperfect.
