to forgive and forget.
a year or two ago, i made a huge mistake that ended up with losing two of my closest (or so i thought) friends. it was difficult after that incident, knowing that i did it for a reason that personally i thought was right. i fought for my old best friend because this guy friend of mine (let's name his roy) was talking about her in his blog. the things he said in his blog made me feel hate against my old best friend as i read it, it made her look like she was mean, that she took him for granted, made him look like a fool, hurt his feelings. but then one day, i thought, would it be right to be talking about her this way? if you truly loved a person, would you really make her look like that in front (or through the internet) of others? it wasn't her fault at all. it would be wrong to love someone because of being pushed into it for pity.
he said in his blog that she had changed. he appeared to me at first as someone who was in pain, i understand that and i've commented that he shouldn't waste his time with someone who would not see his worth. the thing is, the girl had her own side. and that day, i fought for her. and i lost my temper.
it was a bad day, and a bad year. i held my pride for awhile, knowing that i did something for a reason. the awful thing was, i lost two friends in the process. and in a way, i lost a whole group of friends as well.
i've asked forgiveness a year ago, at christmas. and still until today i keep wishing for total forgiveness from them. sometimes i feel humiliated and embarrassed to me saying my piece through txts and blog entries, and ending up with no replies at all.
i have changed alot since then. i'm a different person now altogether. i just wish they could see that, because saying you forgive someone is not enough. forgetting should really be part of the package. i wish they knew how it felt for someone like me.
