Too quick to judge
******************************
FROM 9/30/2018
******************************
If the last few months have taught me anything, it's that I have made mistakes in my life. There's something about filling out endless pages of background information about myself that has elicited this feeling of reflection. To be more precise, that I have been too quick to judge or write off people in my life.
I don't take betrayal lightly. I also do not like my character being attacked. Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way that there are multiple ways to handle a situation. Along this journey of discovery, I have lost many friends that I thought were going to be life long friends.
While I don't regret any of my decisions, I take these unfortunate situations as learning experiences.
I've found that forgiveness is not a lost cause. You can in fact forgive someone for wronging you, without giving them permission to hurt you again. Yes, when you forgive someone, you open yourself up to getting hurt again, but something has to give.
Bottling up the hostility and the anger is only hurting yourself. Why carry that weight around when it is not yours to bear?
