Dear son,
Like a bird that never builds its nest alone on a tree,
I have perched to have this intimate moment with you.
You asked me a question, one that ripples through my soul:
Is it easier to forgive others or oneself?
Son, your question was like opening a thousand-page book,
But I will summarize it in few lines.
Dear Son,
You know I dwell within your thoughts,
I hear every beat of your heart,
I sense every unspoken word.
I know the battles you wage in the silence of self-forgiveness.
It’s easy for you to forgive others,
But when it comes to yourself,
The burden grows heavier than mountains.
Forgiveness was never meant to be easy,
But it is a choice you must make for the common good
Dear Son,
I see you, beating yourself down with the whip of your mistakes,
You’ve turned your body into a battlefield,
Your spirit into a prisoner of regret.
Son, there are no superhumans,
Only those who grow through the cracks of failure.
Mistakes are not chains,
They are the staircase leading to progress,
A painful but necessary step toward growth.
Dear Son,
I hear you now, wondering,
“What if my mistakes become too heavy to bear?
What do I do when everything I touch turns to dust?
How can I rise when every step forward leads to another fall?
How long can I endure failure?”
Son, you’ve forgotten how grand your vision is!
It is easier for a mountain to pass through a narrow gate
Than for big dreams to fit into the space of small expectations.
The bigger you dream, the higher your chance of failure,
But that’s the nature of growth.
Dear Son,
Don’t worry about everyone else
The world is full of those who settle for less.
The larger the dream, the more daunting the path,
Hold tight to your vision,
Forgive yourself for the stumbles along the way,
For without failure, success would never exist.
Dear Son,
When forgiveness is not woven into your soul.
You will find that the journey becomes longer,
The burden heavier
Son, forgive yourself,
For in that act, you will find the peace and happiness you seek.
I know you are wise,
And I trust you will make the choice
Stay strong,
Until I write again.
DadDa
