Others. I'll Change. I'm Sorry.

I really don't think people understand how much others play a part in their life.

For the good, or the bad.

Everyone is always advised don't listen to what other people say, or who cares what they think. Yes, who cares what anyone thinks. 

We should all be ourselves and do things just because we want to.

But everyone has a part of them that wants compliments and recognition.

As humans, we want to please others. 

We want our parents to be proud of us.

We want our friends to like us.

We want to be liked.

Honestly, who wants to be disliked? 

Who wants to be gossiped about?

No one in particular..

Those suttle comments or things we hear from others can hurt us. 

They can tear us down. 

Sometimes people say things because they think it will be for our own good.

I agree, to a point.

I believe in constructive criticism.

I think people sometimes do need to hear things that they don't want to. 

I think others have good insight on ourselves personally and our lives that we might not be able to see at the moment.

I think we need to know those things.

But constructive criticism is not tearing others down.

Constructive criticism is not intentionally hurting peoples feelings or self esteem. 

The difference between being so called "mean" and good criticism is if you actually care about them, then what you say to them will come out to their benefit. 

Not to bring them down. 

Not to over compensate how you feel about your body, talents, feelings, life.

People have such an impact on others.

They have such a way of making someone happy or making thembreak down in tears.

We have an influence on others.

On their emotions, their feelings, their self esteem and confidence.

So, why hurt them?

I also think we as people don't want to hurt people.

But then again, we do.

We all do one way or another. 

Intentionally, unintentionally.

On accident, on purpose.

We hurt the people we care about.

We hurt people we love.

We hurt people we don't know 

or don't necessarily care for. 

Why do we do this? 

Because we are human.

We are kids. 

We are teenagers.

We are adults.

and we all make mistakes. 

Wether we mean to or not. 

We all do.

The important thing is how you deal with your mistakes.

Saying sorry and truly meaning it can change everything around.

Just that one simple word, can mean something huge to someone else.

sorry is truly feeling bad and telling that person you hurt what happened, and how bad you feel. Asking them to forgive you and promising them that if will never happen again.

Change is what makes the difference in a sorry.

Change is what shows if you really learned and if you can really be trusted, forgiven, and given a second chance again.

or maybe multiple times.

Forgiving yourself is key too.

People are easy to forgive and easy to forget.

We all want the same right? 

To be forgiven and to have a second chance. 

Live.Laugh.Love.
for one day you'll make it.


Love, Madeliene
