B2K members reflect on personal growth and forgiveness (Part 4)

See, he got me hyped. I was excited. I mean, you know, my bad. I got excited about Mike. I want to go back to today real quick. Right. Yeah. Which was harder? Forgiving somebody else in the group or accepting responsibility for your own mistakes? Because all of y' all made mistakes. I would say. I would say for me, in observing, you know, everybody's situation and perspective, I feel like I was able to sit back and not only accept my position, but also our disposition, you know what I'm saying? As young men, not really having a lot of guidance or having people that were good influences. Yeah. Really taking pride in that. Really taking pride in being like, no, I'm a fight for y'. All. You know what I'm saying? Or a real mentor. Yeah. No, real mentors. Yeah. So in hindsight, for me, I was. It was. It was a. It was a little easier for me once I got it, and I'm like, oh, wait a minute, hold up. This was his disadvantage. This was my disadvantage. This was all of our disadvantage. Like, could I really be mad at that? You know what I'm saying? Like, could I really hold, you know, my. My. My bro to the fire like that when now, you know, repeat offenders. That's different. You know I'm saying. But what we went through together, yeah, I had to. I had to sit back, and once I understood that it wasn't. A lot of things weren't off our fault, it was easy for me to be like, all right, this makes sense for me. Yeah. For me, I would say it was the self evaluation, because I feel like, as humans, we always feel that we're right. Our opinions are what we lead with, you know, and just have Mike said it, man in the mirror, you know, I had to look at myself and say, even if I want to forgive him, why won't he forgive me? You know? And it's because I'm not accepting and changing based off of what I was and what I'm trying to be and more so to just shorten it up is I had to tell myself, bro, you was whack for that. You was an asshole for that. You. Do you know how you made him feel by what you did? You know what I'm saying? You might have thought it was light, but it was heavy to him. And that's where the change happened with me, to where I was like, let me start paying more attention to my friends. If I'm a real friend, opposed to being a bully or saying that my way is the only way, my thoughts are.
