Forgive... And FORGET!

It's time to forgive. I spent a long time living in a house where I was unwelcome. I spent a long time being hurt by people who I thought cared about me. I spent a long time taking everything personal because for a long time, everything was personal. Yet, it is time to let go. That part of my life is over and while it is very much a part of me, it is does not define me. I went to church for the first time in months and it was surprisingly nice. I had a part in what happened over the last year, whether I care to admit it or not. Still, it is time to move forward. In order to do that, I need to forgive not only all the other people who played a role, but I need to forgive myself. Even more importantly, it's time to forget. Obviously, i will always remember what happened. I can't just erase it from my memory, but the worst thing I can do is re-live my bad experiences over and over. Instead, it is time to start making new memories, which I began immediately. I went to the Rihanna and Kesha concert. It was incredibly fun and rather funny. I laughed at the strange outfits and the ridiculous people. I sang along with the music and danced. By the time it was over, I went home completely exhausted, but I felt good. While I may not have totally forgiven everyone or everything that took place the past year, I am working on it. I know that it is more than okay for me to move on and enjoy life. I also know that there a lot of people who are by my side, ready to enjoy things with me.
