We can’t tell what this life may bring. One day you are doing good; the other days are not. Sometimes even the people we love might hurt us and the more they are closer to us, the more pain they may inflict on us. I am writing this because I reached the point wherein I would lose a very dear friend to me just because of the extreme pain that she had caused.
That friend of mine is a rare one. You cannot find a woman like her. We just had our greatest heated argument and it turned out I didn’t talk to her for a couple of months.
I don’t know, maybe to your close friends you also had a heated argument. It is normal, because you can show them the worst of you.
She reached out and I think I was ready to talk. And that is one of the best nights I ever had. Full of reconciliation, full of forgiveness, full of peace.
I expressed all the pain that I have been bearing for months and I let her talk. Always remember that when dealing with an issue, don’t be one sided. Hear out also the other party. It is possible that they may also have their reasons.
I forgave her, she forgave me. Nothing more, nothing less. We became free of the heartaches.
“Save the relationship if there’s still a chance.” We hold on to this phrase. Do not cut ties if you still think that it may work for the second time or even the nth time.
Pride will paralyze you.
Unforgiveness will make you anxious.
Bitterness, grudge and anger. We may feel that in a moment but remember to not dwell on this.
Life is too short for us to be ungrateful, angry. There’s more to life than that. Be happy, chase your dreams, make time with your loved ones. A happy heart brings a happy life.
