It’s hard to come out of a place of resentment, and it takes practice (just like everything). Practice forgiving about small, everyday things. You can always non-forgive later. Who and what are you ready to let go of resentment toward?
This one is very hard for me to write, seeing as how I tend to give people the benefit of a doubt and I try to forgive people as much as possible. You never know what people are going through or if someone is just having a bad day. Maybe I am just avoiding the situation…I’ll give it a try.
People I am ready to forgive, to practice:
*My father and sister, for leaving me before their time *My sister, for thinking it was a good idea to swim alone *Myself, for thinking that I could have done more to prevent my family from falling apart, *My boyfriend, for stinking up the living room * My crazy junior year roommate
People who I am not ready to forgive yet:
*My 12th grade math teacher who yelled “what are you stupid?” to me in front of the entire study hall, I lost total confidence in myself for a long time because of you. *Myself, for losing touch with certain friends
