Who do I have to forgive? Myself. Because if I don’t forgive myself I won’t be internally happy with me. If I just walk around angry, I won’t truly get the aspects of life. If I don’t forgive myself for the times I’ve done unlawful things, I won’t believe. For I see forgiveness is the key to my heart. ~ Jazmine

I am thinking about giving up on life. How do I let go of pain? I’m thinking about my boyfriend – I am really in love – and getting out and being free. My best friend, why did he kill himself? Is all of this happening for a reason? ~ Miriam
