Forgive and forget


Panjim,Goa,2016
 
 
Why fret?

Forgive and forget.

Hold on to goodness.

Do not expect.

 
Yes,

It’s easier said than done.

But expectations

When attached with choices

Can harm more, and help none.
 

We are just humans.
 

Keep walking.

For there are different pathways

To reach one destination.

  2. Having expectation is a tricky business. There will always exist a chance for it not to be met. Well written

  5. It's such a beautiful and free reflection about life and being trapped. You depicted the various emotions of what goes into the head through the sheer complexity. I find it tough to forgive and forget:)

  6. How true! When expectations interfere with our choices it does more harm than good. Forgiving and forgeting are acts of large heartedness we must hold on to . :)
    Loved reading through your brilliant descriptions through these seven days Payal, it was a nice time.
