Forgive & Forget...


I'm in a little bit of a weird place right now...
I can't seem to clear my mind...
I'm worn out - mentally and emotionally.
I'm tired of hiding how I truly feel...
 
Many times I've thought, "I'm over it."
"Be the bigger person."
"It is what it is."
"The past is the past."
 
But, if I'm being honest...I'm not over it.
I don't know if I ever will be...
I'm still hurt.  My trust has been shattered.  My respect - lost.
How do you just "get over" something like that?
 
The anger I still sometimes feel burning inside is a force to be reckoned with.
Some say that I just need to forgive and forget...
I've tried - time and time again...
But, it's MUCH easier said than done.
 
How do you forgive someone who isn't sorry?
I just don't know...  I'm not sure you can...

  1. Ok first of all, you are just beautiful!! and I love that you are named after your grandma..that's pretty special. I'm not sure what the specifics of the situation you're talking about in this blog post but let me just tell you I've been there...like really recently. What's helped me is knowing that I can't control what another person does. That doesn't mean in any way that I have to agree with it or like it, but I release myself from trying to change it. I had heard about forgiveness being more for yourself and kinda thought yeah whatever, but recently I've found it to be very true. Forgiving doesnt mean you're not hurt or you are ok with whatever...it just means you're working to release the emotions you're holding towards the person or situation...Forgiving is for yourself, not the other person. For me a point came where it was harder to hold on to being mad/sad/angry than it was to just let it go and let a new peace fill me....OK that was long LOL! Have an awesome week girl!

    1. Well, thank you very, very much! So sweet of you to say! Thank you for the advice...I am trying really hard - trust me...to let it go. The situation is definitely a torn in my side. I can only hope that one day it is all resolved...and I pray everyday that God will allow me to forgive the people who have caused me so much grief... Time will tell, I suppose! Again, thank you - you're an angel! xo
