forgive yourself...
...because if not you, then who?
nobody can care for you as much as you. we are all responsible for taking care of ourselves and easing our guilt too can come from within.
your mistake is in the past. if you're trying to do better then it's only fair you leave the guilt behind too ✨

Just a reminder
Just because you forgive someone does not mean you magically start liking their energy. Feel free to forgive and forget them.

Forgive and road sign
“I will never forgive you.”
When that’s our first unedited, unfiltered response? It’s a sure sign that someone has really hurt us. That what they did cut us. Deeply.
There’s nothing wrong with feeling that way.
But there is a danger in feeling that way. And it comes – not from feeling that way – but from holding onto it.
From allowing it to replay in our thoughts. Allowing how we were hurt by someone to replay in our thoughts does nothing to the person who hurt us. But it hurts us all over again, each time we do it.
If what they did to us is like being pushed down the stairs? Then allowing what they did to us to replay in our thoughts is like pushing yourself down the stairs.
This is why Jesus commands us to forgive in today’s Gospel. Not because the people who pushed us down the stairs deserve anything from us.
But because God loves us too much to let us push ourselves down the stairs again. And again.
“So that I means I just have to forgive and forget?”
No. That’s how God works.
When God forgives us, God forgets everything that’s He’s forgiven.
It’s why one of the saddest things that you and I can do to ourselves is beat ourselves up over something that God has already forgiven. When we drag something back to God that He has already forgiven us for, God has no idea what we’re talking about.
But that’s not how you and I work.
For us, it’s not “forgive and forget.” It’s “forgive and road sign.”
Forgive so we can let go of what they did. And any claim we have against them – no matter how right we may be.
Forgive so we can stop allowing it to replay. So we can let go of how it feels.
Forgive so we can stop letting them live rent-free in our heads. So they can’t hurt us again.
Don’t forget. Hold on to that hard-earned wisdom. But keep it only as a road sign.
Keep it on the road, to give the warning. If we ever head down that road again.
And if we never head down that road again? Let it rust.
Don’t try to forgive on your own. Take it to God in prayer.
Follow God’s lead when it comes to forgiveness.
And if He puts the question in your heart, “should I go to counselling?” You know the answer. Go.
God loves you too much to let you live another day without the joy that comes from forgiveness. Or the freedom that comes from a good road sign.

the mistakes...
...that you made in the past are just that - mistakes. they do not define you.
the fact that you realise it wasn't right and are actively trying to not repeat it, is proof enough of your growth since then.
those mistakes have helped shape the better human that you are today. don't beat yourself up anymore. it's time to let go ✨

Thinking about how many of the bad guys I could’ve fixed had I been in the series but realizing that would make the show boring.
I call it the “poor little meow meow. They’re laughing. They’re enjoying the byproducts of your struggle.” cycle.

Part Three: Hatred?
JJ Maybank x Reader
Angst, little fluff
Part Three: Hatred?
“I’m just gonna g-” You started, feeling incredibly awkward before you felt yet another pair of arms wrap around you for the third time that day.
“We have a problem here?” The voice was immediately recognizable, JJ having been the one standing behind you with his arms wrapped around your waist.
“I don’t know, Maybank, do we?” Kelce's voice sounded before you, Kelce having stepped closer to him.
“No. No, we are not doing this.” You whisper yet everyone seemed to hear you. You moved from JJ’s arm to lay your hand on Kelce’s chest and gently pushed him back with pleading eyes, asking him not to start anything. You turned to JJ and walked toward him, interlocking your hands so you could pull him away from the situation.
“Yes. Actually, I think we are.” Rafe’s voice cuts in this time, him stalking toward your lover with renewed anger.
“Rafe!” You called, stepping in front of JJ and moving backwards as Rafe grew closer and closer to your boyfriend who tried to step around you to go after Rafe. You quickly grab JJ’s hand, stepping in front of him again. Rafe was now nose to nose with you, JJ right behind you.
“Please.” You begged, looking up to Rafe. The look Rafe gave you was one that told you that you were nothing more than dirt beneath his boot.
“Rafe, please. We don’t want any issues, we just want to surf. That’s what you came here for, right?” You tried desperately to make the two males behind and in front of you step down when you heard two other voices join in, mocking you and Rafe. John B and Pope.
“Yeah, Rafe. We just wanna surf.” John B called sarcastically. With that, Rafe grabbed your shoulder harshly and threw you to the side, throwing his fist up. Before you could stop yourself, you yelled something out that didn’t quite make sense to you but made everyone stop, whether it be out of confusion or something else
“Rafe Cameron, if you throw that punch I will hate you. I will never talk to you again! Do you understand me?” Fear and rage made your body tremble and fist clench.
“That goes for you two as well. If he throws that punch, I will no longer talk to either of you.” You growled out, looking between Topper and Kelce. You felt stupid for throwing that out there. It wasn’t like any of them cared for you anyways, you sounded like a conceded b*tch to your own ears so you couldn’t imagine what the others thought of you.
Rafe stared at you a moment, cold and calculating. Kelce stepped forward, stepping in front of Rafe with a quick glance towards you.
“Come on, man. A lawsuit isn’t worth it.” Kelce tried. They all knew none of the Pogues could press charges or even get a lawyer so when Kelce said that, the entirety of Pogue’s and Kooks all looked to him with a ‘what-the-f*ck’ look.
When Rafe released your boyfriend, you instantly moved toward him.
“You got lucky this time, Maybank.” Rafe called out, moving his arms up and shrugging. When the three boys retreated to their vehicle and left, you turned to JJ with a panicked expression.
“I promise I’m no-” You tried to explain but was soon cut off with a kiss from your previously pissed off boyfriend. This was not what you were expecting. Still yet, you felt your body melt into his, his hands supporting your lower back before finally kissing him back.
When he pulled back, you opened your eyes with shock and just stared at him.
“I don’t like that you did that.” He stated, looking back to where the kooks once stood. “But I know you have no connection to them. Not sure how that worked but it doesn’t matter.” He answered. You could tell that it did bother him but you weren’t concerned about that at that very moment. From far away, you couldn’t see them, but now that he was close up, you let your eyes rake over the blue and purple bruises and cuts that littered his body.
You bit your lip feeling your anger spike when you looked up to him, asking him without asking him if Luke did this. When he looked away from your gaze, you nearly growled and looked to the side to try to hide your expression from him. You would kill Luke. Maybe not today, but someday you will.
“It doesn’t hurt.” JJ tried at a weak comforting sentence but that only seemed to spike your rage more. You remained silent, moving so your arms carefully wrapped around his waist, face laying against his chest. When his arms engulfed you back, you felt the rage slowly but surely sizzle away.
“I know-” JJ started before stopping, seeming to gather his thoughts, “I know he isn’t the best father… but maybe one day we can both forgive him.”
You sighed softly before looking up to him.
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”

Mortal Kombat OC banter
(The statue of Lord Shinnok in the main hall has been destroyed under mysterious circumstances.)
Or not so mysterious... Shinnok is pacing back and forth rubbing his face while his wife, Rashid is standing far enough that he can't reach her but not too far to see the red glint in Shinnok's eye.
" I am at a loss for words."
She gulps and hesitantly looks at him. "Does this mean I'm punished for all eternity?"
He breathes out, "It could be but that wouldn't solve anything."
"Just say whatever is on your mind Lord Shinnok..."
He walks closer to her and balls his fists tightly.
"Of all the damned things you destroy IT HAD TO BE THIS!?"
Rashid shivers at Shinnok's anger.
" By the Gods, woman, I'd drive a stake through your heart, but I don't think anything could kill you!"
It's silent in the main hall for several minutes until Shinnok breathes in and sighs.
"Alright, this can be fixed. In the meantime stay out of this room and away from me for at least another hour."
Rashid swallows a sob and bows, "I'm sorry..."
The dark lord shuts his eyes and nods, "You are forgiven; just... go keep yourself busy."
Rashid rises and scurries out of the destroyed room meanwhile Shinnok turns his attention to Quan Chi.
"See to it that this is all repaired, my statue replaced, and... that no one breathes a word about what happened today."
The necromancer smirks at the humorous turn of events. Well humorous to him anyway.
"How do you think this happened?"
Shinnok pulls out a chair and slumps looking at the destruction his wife made.
"I have no idea."
