FORGIVENESS

A very wise man once told me, "FORGIVENESS is the sweetest revenge." I never really understood the poignancy of this statement until today. This morning I woke up very light-hearted for some reason. And then I realised, I am no longer angry. The resentment is gone. If anything, I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry that he's still holding such unpleasant emotions towards me. And after all this time, he's still bound by his addiction to the drama. And that he still feels the nee...d to bother me and continuously slander my name to everyone.
But as of this moment, I am officially removing myself from this negative energy that he constantly throws at me. I am freeing myself from him. NO MORE DRAMA. The AVO hearing is his last attempt to control me but I'm done. I'm finally happy again. Truly. I felt it this weekend. I'm ready to open up again.
A friend of mine once said, "Remember, you don't forgive someone for his or her sake - you forgive them for your sake." Well, true that! And on that note, I just read that as "sake", the drink. I think that means it's time for me to get some sushi.
