Well, why the heck not?

I forgive.  It’s what I do.  I also give second chances (sometimes three and four).  It’s who I am.  I believe in people and if anyone thinks that makes me weak, that’s okay.  Being able to forgive others and have faith in others puts a little more love and peace in my heart.  It’s me that I am more concerned with, not them - the ones who have hurt me.  Carrying around resentment like a cross on my back does nada for me. I mean, really, who wants to RSVP to a pity party?  When others hurt me, it’s their burden to carry, not mine.  After all, the mistake falls somewhere on their choices.  I have nothing to do with that. Forgiveness and Faith help me to accept the past and prepare for the future.  In the meantime, I’ll work on the act of forgiving myself.  (I, too, deserve second chances.)
