Second chances

I believe that second chances don't come by everyday.
And frankly, not everyone deserve them anyway.

But I always told myself, that if someone realizes his/her mistakes,
and sincerely repents -
then he/her deserves a second chance.

Purely because nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.
But the courage comes in admitting your mistakes,
and vowing to do better in the future.

I have done wrong in the past,
And someone gave ME a second chance.

And I,
Shall do the same for someone else as well.

If it works out, I know we will cherish each other more after the 'storm',
If it doesn't, then we both know that we have given our very best...

I am not afraid to try.
Yet, I am not afraid to let things take its own course.
Because sometimes, the harder you try to hang on to something,
The quicker they slip away...



Oh, the irony...

(Ps: Just felt like camwhoring and showing off my new hair, but the colour didn't quite show. Fail~!)

I couldn't help but to gleefuly grin while reading this post as there's so many instances where I wished I had a second go at things and also to have given that chance to others, and I'm glad that you both are giving each other that chance. Make the best out of it!

The Unknown: Thanks~! :) It wasn't easy making that decision, to give each other a chance...

To make yourself vulnerable again... but I suppose, being vulnerable means being brave at the same time :P

Come what may... time will tell.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. You're right, it takes courage to admit to it, but it takes even more courage to give and take that 2nd chance.

Don't look back. This is a start of a brand new chapter. Wish you both happiness.

Thanks anonymous. But why anonymous? I only have a handful of people reading my blog since I went private... and since I trusted you to give access, I reckon anonymity ain't entirely necessary?

I second the second chance babe! Haha. God, how lame am i? Lol. Forgive me. My brain is a bit fried today...haha.

Sometimes it strengthens what we have. You appreciate things more I guess. I wish I could be like you, sit back and let things unfold and take its course. Lol.

Love the hair!!
