Lark's Letter to Jastra
Jastra,
Let me first say that I am among a select few who have the ability to forgive those most think should not be. An ability to forgive those who have repeatedly already been forgiven, repeatedly broken the trust awarded them. You are not a special case or any different from those forgiven before now. You aren’t being given my forgiveness because you have earned it or because of the moments we have shared. You are being forgiven because above all else, forgiveness is divine. Forgiveness heals and brings with it hope for a future in which forgiveness is no longer needed.
There are going to be many who will turn and walk away from you, distance themselves as far from you as possible. Some with tears in their eyes, others with hate. My advice to you is to look every one of them in the eye without judgment. Stand with your head held steady and except their decisions as part of your own healing process. Awaking each and every day with the memories of what you and VKTR have done will fade over time but never truly leave you be. Forgiving yourself will now be the badges, the armor, the scars, the daily tasks that will fill the rest of your life. Please remember that mistakes are always forgivable, once you've done what you've already done. Admit them.
As for our moments, all of which are special ones I hold close, I plan on keeping them and remembering them as fondly as I ever have. I am writing this now because of those moments and any such future ones we shall share together. Once you are ready, once you've forgiven yourself, and excepted what needs to be excepted. Then and only then will new moments between us continue.
“Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours.”
Your Light,
-Lark
