Forgiving the ex 2 months ago

After the breakup, i cut off all communication. I needed the space and time to get over the disappointment considering I was the one who came off worse. It was his choice to end the relationship.There has been so much resentment but now when i think of him, there are no hard feelings. I hope he is ok and life is treating him well.

So today, after several months i sent him a short email to check on him. I have no idea how things will go from here but I just want us to be civil, friendship would be a bonus.



it's a hard... 3 months ago

thing to do. especially when you want to move on with your life but you know that that feeling, memory, pain, or person is holding you back. I’ve had many people hurt me in my life and it seems as i get older, the harder it is to forgive the people who have caused me so much unneccessary pain. Jus the memory or the thought of them sets you back, and you can’t move forward no matter how hard I try. It’s like I’ve come across some immovable boulder that won’t budge until all the rifts and pains in my life are gone, or I resolve and get rid dof the skeletons i keep hidden in the closet.
and i’ve learned that about me too—when people hurt me, i cut them out of my life and live as if they were never part of my existence, which ofcourse is not true….and then when they begin to seep back into my present world, i panic. and then the pain rushes in, the pain that i’ve tried to lock away for so long. so in a way, i dont know how to truly forgive the people that have hurt me. heck, i dont even know how to live with the memories they’ve left behind with me. and the more i dont acknowledge the pain’s presence, the more frightening, threatening and intimidating they become. its a sad cycle i put myself through…..but i just dont know how to overcome this….how to truly forgive, let go and move on.

I’m certainly still working on this. However, so much pain and anger is to be released from forgiving the people that’ve hurt me. I’ll find peace within myself… :)

forgive but don't forget; 8 months ago

not forgiving is like giving the people that hurt you their undeserved satisfaction. but i still don’t think that you should forget. you need to be smart. you can’t just live on & let them walk over you all over again. be strong & forgive, but never forget.

My MoM - 9 months ago

sent me a Valentine’s Day card this year for Valentine’s Day!

I thought that it was really sweet!
She does not usually send me a card.

And she took me out to lunch on Sunday, it was her treat!
We had a great lunch together!

I hope this is a sign of a better relationship!

Well - 12 months ago

One person in my life truly sucks right now.

They are almost guaranteed to let me down.
No matter how many chances I give them.

I am so trying to make the best of a bad situation!

I am working on improving me!
I will express myself!
I will stand up for myself!
For me!

Unhappy - 12 months ago

& upset with someone who claims to love me.

Last night they said something offensive to me.
I pretty much said that was rude.
They walked away as if nothing had happened.
Which made me angry & more upset about the situation.

I didn’t want to fight about it.
I didn’t get an apology.
But I did let it be known that I didn’t want to be treated that way.

Needless to say I went to sleep with my feelings hurt.
And feeling confused about the whole thing.

I need to.. 13 months ago

”..I need to forgive myself.. my guilt is getting the best out of me.. I have to accept my mistakes and move on so that I can have the courage to also forgive others.. to understand that people are not perfect, and like me, we all have done wrong.. no matter how bad we thought we have been.. I think the most important part of this realization is that I am really sorry for what I did.. and that I am willing to do my best to pay for that.. and eventhough others whom have hurt me don’t say sorry nor ask for my forgiveness.. I have to be open to the fact that they too are having a hard time forgiving themselves.. healing is a process.. it takes time.. but I know that pain teaches us to be humble and to be compassionate to the hurts of others.. after all, we are only human.. we need to be forgiven as well as to forgive..”
