Being able to speak publicly on things in this age of technology also means that one loses a bit of privacy. Conversations online that you think are only between you and those you would like to actually be having a conversation with is not always the case. In using words and liking words and finding enjoyment with sharing those words with others also comes with responsibility of what happens when those words get out into the world. And if your words hurt someone else's feelings - even if that was never the intention then one must take ownership of those words. I am sorry if my words hurt someone in my attempt to make myself feel better about a crappy situation.
Forgiveness is a funny thing...it is always more about the person that gives the forgiveness than the person being forgiven. And forgiveness does not necessarily mean forgetting. It just means you are letting go of the hurt feelings that are holding you back. You can forgive a person and never ever talk to that person again. Forgiveness is an internal thing and has nothing to do with the other person at all. Some people forgive easily and for others it is a lifetime struggle. But for all it is necessary for peace. And I am truly at peace...
Moving on can be hard. Holding on to the past is easy but it doesn't serve any purpose. Moving on can be helped by many different activities. Changing your location, changing your decor, meeting new people and spending time with those in your life that encourage you to be a better person. It is hampered by revisiting past events or experiences that keep you stuck in place. It doesn't do any good to stay sad or to be angry. Moving on involves accepting that the old way of life is over and that a new life must me forged out of nothing that is familiar. Moving on is freeing and wonderful and scary all at the same time....And I have moved on.
