In a life time you come across people who will change your life forever Whether it be in a good or bad way With every experience you encounter, deal with, overcome…. There comes a sense of empowerment, of strength that grows within you… Becoming resilient to the outside forces that may bring you down Facing your demon is the best way of healing Dealing with the raw pain, is a healthy way of letting go For if we hold resentment and hate in our heart We will hold on to that pain even longer Forgetting is not an option, but forgiveness and embracing the one who has hurt you Relieves the heart… frees the soul Yet your mind will hold the memory, never to be forgotten For it has left a permanent mark in your heart But in time it will fade into the shelf of the past And all you will keep is the knowledge and lessons learned And if true love for that person existed within you That love will remain embedded in your heart till the end of time A bitter sweat reminder…. of what you thought you once had… Jen--->MindBodySoul |

Wise words. Don't know if I can be that person just yet, who forgives, but doesn't forget. Hand in hand the two seem to be, Siamese twins, Not opposite for me. But I see what you say as a wise way to live And look forward to when I can once again give.  |

Very wise, mature advice, Jeannette. So much pain is fraught when one doesn't do this - for the person concerned and all involved. - Owl |

I greatly appreciate your words! Its is from a very recent heart ache and betrayal that I say this. The pain was so, that I was drowning in it. But as soon as I faced and embraced the demon.. The pain became less and I was able to look forward and never turn back.. and I forgave not for him but for myself... . I wanted to share this with all of you! Jen--->MindBodySoul |

So true. Unforgiveness burns more than calories. ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· |
