So I want to pose a question. When is it okay to "forgive and forget" per se? I mean, I don't want to necessarily just give in and be okay with everything and I also don't want to forget totally (fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice shame on me...)... I just want to be okay. It's like time makes us forget a little, ya know? Like as time goes on we heal from whatever hurt that we have had in our lives and the feelings we felt a year ago no longer exist. It is like you are less mad, or less sad, or less hurt, or less whatever.
And while I value ALL of my experiences, yes all of them, because they all have a place in making me, I need to stop LETTING people hurt me. We all could benefit from doing that. Seriously think for a second about that person (or people) who you know hurts you again, and again, and again, and you let them. You let them in, and open yourself up and they crush you, and then you forgive and you let them in and they crush you (can you see the pattern here???) My goal for the next year is to NOT let anyone hurt me. That is my piece for the day.
Our lives are what we make them to be.
Happy June! :-)
I wish I knew the answer to this question.
ReplyDeleteIt's one I've struggled with too.
