Tell yourself you are strong enough to forgive someone.
A couple days ago a friend informed me that her dad thought I was a grudge holder. Why she shared this, I have no idea. However, when I looked up at my other friends, no one disputed it. On the contrary, they all said I do. I have never thought that I hold grudges. I can usually remember what people have done to me namely because I am particularly good at remembering horrifically embarrassing moments (it's a selective gift). However, I don't hold things against people. I suppose it is good for us to hear what people think of us every once awhile but that was quite a shock. Still, I think I am good at forgiving people so I will continue in my flawed ways. My friend's dad can suck it!
Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.

Wow. That must have been quite a shock to hear. You seemed to have handled it well. I guess it is good to have honest friends, but sometimes stuff like that can be hard to hear.
ReplyDeleteI like the Oscar wilde quote!
