I hated myself, and the part of me that was cowardly wished for a simple solution: an exchange of pain for forgiveness. But life didn’t work that way, and fucking up was forever.

About This Quote

The most difficult part of being human, I believe, is that inevitable sense of regret after having done something wrong. We all have regrets. There are things we wish we could turn back. We all have times when we wish we could say, ‘Forgive me...’ But life doesn’t work that way.

Forgiveness is not something you can wave your hand and make happen. You can only make yourself worthy of it.
