Well, I'd say give it some time as far as the ointment goes, it can take a while to go away sometimes. In the meantime though, just take little steps to become more comfortable with it. I understand having scars and being insecure about them but I've just accepted they're there y'know! Plus, it's on your knee so you shouldn't feel any judgment or insecure about it. Basically don't let that hold you back from wearing what you want and being comfortable
We move on to a different topic, Apologies & Forgiveness.
We are going to do this a little bit different this time. If you made a mistake but you're too scared to apologize or you wanted to practice, or maybe the actual apology was unaccepted. Here you can let it all out. In this topic you can apologize to someone but you don't want them to know.
Or
Has anyone ever did you wrong? Did they apologize to you? Did you forgive them? Forgive someone who did you wrong and post it here.
(this topic was inspired by a challenge from Charm School )
I have a lot of pride and I don't want to forgive certain people for things because it's so inexcusable but, I know it's the right thing to do. I think I've forgiven certain people though and I'm still learning to.
I consider myself as a forgiving person. It's both a blessing and a curse. I'm usually all "forgive and forget" because I myself make a lot of mistakes and I look to be forgiven so I forgive people. Most of them don't deserve it though, but if there's one thing that I despise it's fighting with someone I care about.
Hey guys so now we move to another topic since the apologies topid flopped to a more simpler topic. Do you know any positve real life stories you would like to share? Maybe something happened with you or you did something sweet for someone? Or a friend or relative? Perhaps a story you read online? Please share and let's discuss.
I read this on the BTW Foundation on FB:
Gage Driskell, an 11-year-old boy who is battling brain cancer, had the best birthday last month thanks to an unexpected group of friends.
His one wish this year was to ride a motorcycle, and when local biker legend Dwight Murphy heard that, he rallied 75 members of the Treasure Valley biking community to help make the wish come true. The gang showered Gage in gifts before strapping him into a sidecar and driving him to his birthday party.
Yeah but I don't have money for that. My parents abandoned me last year and I'm working 3 jobs just to pay rent and tuition
Aww, they're wrong for just abandoning you like that. I'm really glad you're working through it though.

I feel bad since I never have anything to post here.

Got enrolled to a new school so that's something i'm happy about.
I tend to pick up strays, this kitten was hungry so i took her in and named her ginger snap.
Found her a home.
It's a really good thread. I hope more people will post something.
I have no positive story in my mind right now. However, I have one about insecurity.
Most of the times I feel so insecure because of my size. In addition, I'm veerrryyy awkward and clumsy in real life, yet I have to meet and talk to A LOT of people for my job. I feel like everything I do is not good enough. People compliment me for still keeping up with my education (I'm a second year college student) while having a job (it's uncommon in my country for studying and doing job at the same time). However, I still feel that I'm not good enough. Idk why. I often get envious when I see my friends going abroad for vacation or even for studying, and I have to stay in here because I dont have any money. I also do not have that many of friends. I often feel alone and it really kills me. Well yeah, that's my life. I just try to hold on, to be the best of me. I just believe that someday I will earn my happiness.

Sorry for writing too much lol.
Well, good for you for keeping up with your education while striving to make a life for yourself. I hope you keep it up and that the future is better for you and you find inner peace and satisfaction with yourself
First, I'd like to thank Jad for talking about me in one of the first few posts, your very nice tbh and I like you too
Also, I battle stuff like depression and insecurity aswell, I became insecure after my old friends just used me and ruined me, in a sense. I've dealt with a lot of stuff during my life tbh, I know this ain't the topic and everything but I just wanted to say one of the true real reasons I became a Katy stan is because of that little song Firework.
The song inspired me on so many levels and I truly think it helped me, I know this ain't a thread about praising our faves but if i ever got to meet her, i'd thank her for saving me
Jad, this was a great thread idea and remember guys, stay strong
Wow. Thank you for this thread. Just read through all the posts, it is beautiful.
As for apologies and forgiveness, I forgive people in my life every day. I'm surrounded by negativity and people putting others down in my life, even in my own home. So I guess I am a pretty forgiveful person because I make the best of it. It doesn't even seem that bad the way I am putting it right now, but it is. Although like I said, I try to make the best out of everything in my life and try my best to cope.
For apologies, I am too stubborn for that. Like I said, I live in a very negative environment so it's very hard. I'm getting better at it day by day though.
