They say to forgive and forget. I’m pretty good at forgiving. Sometimes forgiveness is my weakness. I never forget though. When someone mistreats me and breaks my trust that betrayal plays over and over in my head. You can forgive someone and still keep your guard up. When someone mistreats you to the point they put their hands on you and then wants to be your friend, that is a trap waiting to bite you in the ***. You don’t have to be friends with the person you forgive. You forgive someone so you set yourself free from the anger because of whatever they did to you. It has nothing to do with them. Just because someone forgives you doesn’t mean your that person’s friend, doesn’t mean that the situation didn’t happen, doesn’t mean karma isn’t coming for you. I’ve forgiven a lot of people. Am I going to be friends with those people? Nope. Am I going to say “Hello” to them in the store if I see them? Hell no. Some doors are better closed because for some reason whenever their open all hell breaks loose. I don’t want my life to be anymore chaotic then it already has been. I’ve let go of the past, I’m moving on in the present, I have my guard up for the future so I know how to better handle a situation when trust is broken. I hope my enemies can do the same all the while doing me the pleasure of staying away from me.
