How to Forgive
i have this anger towards someone i used to love. because this person lied to me about wont get anyone after me. but then i found out this person gets a new one. i think it is better to say that i'm not the best this person can get. so i know what i should do with myself. i am really angry that i cant sleep and keep thinking about all the lies. i said i forgive this person, but deep down i cant do that. i feel so betrayed. i tried my best to forget about the memories. but then it comes out again and again over the anger. i really want to forgive this person because i dont want to care anymore

Hey 11Sunflower. Forgivness can definitely be a hard thing to do, but the fact that you are seeking it (and ultimately some peace of mind?) is a major step forward. One thing that struck me while reading is that I have to disagree with you on what he lied to you about. He was not honest or realistic about the fact that his life would continue whether you were there or not. You were hurt and emotionally pushed away- and you have every right to be hurt. One thing for certain is that someone different is definitely not neccessarily someone better. Being able to distinguish the difference can be life-saving. I hope that he did you a favor and made room for something new and different in your life that is inspirational for the path you would like to be on. Maybe that in itself can earn him your forgiveness? You will find forgiveness- but we all feel and go through the strides first.
