It's human nature; we all make mistakes. We hurt others and others hurt US. Sometimes, the same person hurts us repeatedly and we do nothing about it. Sometimes the mistakes WE make are even worse and hurt others more than what has been done to us. Other times, we take things too seriously and feel hurt over nothing due to how sensitive we are. We even hurt the ones WE LOVE and get hurt by them as well. Where is the sense in that? Well, the first thing we need to realize is that WE'RE NOT PERFECT. No one is. The ones who consider themselves perfect, we need to stay away from. The biggest mistakes or the worst ways to add salt to the wound is by not admitting to our mistakes, to be cold enough to not realize we've hurt others, and think it's ok to do it. To hide behind the excuse that we didn't mean to. Yes, it's very easy to hurt someone without intention, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't admit to it. Then comes the most important elements of making mistakes and hurting others or being hurt. They're called APOLOGY AND FORGIVENESS. Very few people in this world posses the wisdom of admitting to their mistakes and apologize for them and even fewer are kind enough to SINCERELY accept an apology and move on. We sometimes are too angry, ashamed or even scared to either apologize or forgive the ones we've hurt or the ones that have hurt us. But what we should realize is that we can become a better person ourselves by doing the right thing. It's one of the hardest, yet powerful things to do in life. When you apologize for your mistakes, you're not only admitting to being wrong, but you're telling the person you've hurt that you CARE. That in your heart and mind there's kindness, that that you want to show it to them, and also that you're human enough to realize what you have done and offer the simplest yet most powerful way to make it better. On the other hand, when you forgive, you're liberating yourself from the pain. You understand that it's something that NO MATTER WHAT you say or do, it's been done and only letting go and forgiving the person that hurt you will be the best way to move on. We do understand that some things just can't be forgiven. As a matter of fact, we know a lot of them can't. We're not blind to see that with an apology won't change what has been done. But it will LIBERATE you from the anger you feel towards the person that hurt you and allow you or make it easier to move on with your life. Forgiveness should only be given when it comes from the heart; when you know you actually feel it. You can't forgive someone and then make them feel horrible for what they've done every chance you get and throw it on their face whenever you feel like. Forgiveness must come from the heart and it should be given when you know in your mind you're ready to do so.
Remember, we're not perfect; we are human. We all have at some point in our lives hurt or been hurt and hopefully, we all have apologized and forgave as well.
Knapp Photography is EXTREMELY HAPPY to have friended such FAWESOME people! A lot of them have come into our lives in recent months and can sincerely say that we very much appreciate them all. We have collaborated and worked with true TALENT and the results have been FAMAZING! We shot another line of sexyness from Angel Eyes Designs this past weekend and WOW! It was once again a FANTABULOUS collaboration! Catherine Ivette rocked it with her modeling, Wonder Woman Analise Ojeda worked her wonder woman powers and HOLY MOLE came up with WOW hair and make up. Jay Noriega also showed up and rocked along with Catherine. It was a great time as always. On Monday morning we worked with beautiful Carly Rose who is a blast to work with, full of energy and good vibe. Rachel Uskert worked her magic with hair and make up and we also ended up with PHENOMENAL images and in the evening we did an editorial/advertisement shoot for Sugar Bliss cake boutique with Chicago Fashion Gossip founder and beautiful model Michelle Echeverria, always nice and smiling Kate Johnson worked the hair make up and styling, and we ended up with WONDERFUL images! We hope the folks at Sugar Bliss like them as much as we do. We all brought something to the table and it truly shows in the finish product.
We also reached 300 likes on our FB page in a little over 2 months and we would like to thank our supporters! We hope you tell your friends and we can make it to 100,000 in no time! Yes, we are ambitious!
