The Art of Acceptance

Do you often ask yourself on why things have to be like this and not the other way around? Or how you wish you can make things better for yourself?

How complicated must acceptance be, that we have a hard time embracing it?

Forgiveness

Oftentimes, you may ask yourself on why you have a hard time forgetting and forgiving a person's mistake. We are blindly mask with the realization that they have committed a mistake to you, they've hurt you and the word "sorry" doesn't patch up the big wound they've caused. Now, because of that idea, you're suffering not just because of the wound and mental bruises they've caused you, but also because of yourself. Sure, there are a lot of circumstances why forgiving them is not that easy. A friendly reminder, whatever they may have done, they are not responsible for your whole life, you'll be the one to decide whether to step forward or to be stuck still on other people's mistake, or worse, your own mistake.

I'm not saying this to force you on forgiving, because in order to forgive you have to be willing and after that, you have to assess and accept the situation. After accepting your situation, it is now up to you on what approach you are going to execute for you to be able to move forward, because forgiveness doesn't exist without acceptance.

Forgive yourself, for being coward in life's challenges

Forgive them, because after all humans commits mistake

It's okay, accept the situation now and find a way to deal with those things.

For building stronger human relationships.

Back when you were just a kid and developing consciousness of your surroundings you don't know how to point out other people's flaws. You don't know what's beautiful and ugly, until people that surrounds started teaching you about characters. You see, you don't care back then if your mother have gone fat because of giving birth to you, you just learned to accept it because you know she's your mother and you love her.

It's the same as having an opposite sex relationship, you will love and accept on everything that they are because you don't want to lose them just because of their flaws. Surely, we don't want someone leaving us because they've seen our flaws. This is applicable to our society, acceptance is the key that could eradicate discrimination and stereotyping.

Self-growth

Yes, in order for you to grow as an individual you need to accept yourself first. You need to accept yourself for who you really are and everything you can't control about yourself. Your personal flaws that you didn't want made you on who you have become today. It's not always your fault for having these flaws. However, there are some flaws you must overcome yourself to have self-improvement. Because after accepting yourself no one could step on you using your flaws because you know that it's not something to be ashamed of.

It's just the society labeling every flaws of human as something negative, where in fact we all have these, they're here in nature. In fact, we shouldn't be calling them flaws, but as naturalities. So here's to you reader who needed some words, you shouldn't be stuck by the things you can't control. Face the world knowing that you are imperfect, but is always capable of love, acceptance, and human emotions. We are humans and we don't need to be perfectly imperfect.

We now live in the era where being flawed is okay, yet the idea of being flawed is set to standards. It's funny how we see posts of women with freckles and stretchmarks, but they are still rocking it with their perfectly-shaped face, beautiful nose and sexy bodies. It's not their fault, it is our fault for having ideal types of flawed people. When someone is flawed, then they are. No need to compromise people that despite being flawed-- you're like this or like that. It is not always the same case.

To you my reader, it's okay to be flawed, it's okay to hit rock bottom and be broke without being hot and pretty like those you see on social media.
