It's funny... I can forgive everyone but myself. But I'm working on that, slowly. I know I'm a good person and I have some amazing friends/people in my life. I just want to love and support them in any way possible, but in order to do that for them I have to do it for myself first. If that makes sense...
I'm also loyal to a fault. So even if I stepped away from someone for awhile, I'd give them another chance if they came around. People can change, and usually for the better. But a_canary_mad is right- you can't make them change, they need to take matters into their own hands. That's something I learned the hard way, with a drug-addicted friend in NOLA. =/
I have to let go, really. I know what happens when you hold grudges, as I've seen in my dear ex-girlfriend. Seeing her sort of changed the way I carry myself emotionally. It's pointless to hold grudges....what's the point of staying angry over something that happened days, or weeks, or hell, months ago? In the end, I'm just angry, and nothing has changed. Or I could choose to move on and worry about my own life and enjoy the things I do, so I don't accelerate any stress or anger related issues....hair loss, ulcers, what have you. The most I stay angry is maybe...oh, 4 hours at the VERY most....then I get on Youtube and watch something like, "Cats Falling Off of Balconies into Pudding" and I'm happy again~ :>
But when it all comes down to resolution...a heart-felt apology and a smile is usually all that does it for me~
