overtime

Im curious how some arent afraid to let someone in, how some dont have the fear of getting hurt. I'm lonely but i dont want anybodys company.

A friend cut and paste some text from somewhere? & for some reason after reading it i feel scared:

I believe -
. . . that just because two people argue, it doesn't
mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, it doesn't
mean they do.

I believe -
. . . that we don't have to change friends if we
understand that friends change.

I believe -
. . . that no matter how good a friend is, they're
going to hurt you every once in a while and you must
forgive them for that.

I believe -
. . . that we are responsible for what we do, no
matter how we feel

I believe -
. . . that sometimes the people you expect to kick you
when you're down, will be the ones to help you get
back up.

I believe -
. . . that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right
to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be
cruel.

I believe -
. . . that even when you think you have no more to
give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find
the strength to help.

I believe -
. . . that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by
others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive
yourself.

I have no idea why im scared.
But i do know im finding it hard to forgive her
.

I wish i had his opinion

when she left this for me to read i felt sad in some parts.

forgiveness is never easy but the way i look at it is there are only ever two options.

-forgive and try to continue along the same path
-forget and take the unwritten path that has no promises and no predictions. you have everything to lose and everything to gain.

the only way to decide is to look at it like this-

-do i love the way things were
or
-do i finally have an excuse or reason to move on in a different path

it sounds cynical but sometimes when people hurt you it's for the best because it's easier to start a fresh and it's easier to carve a new destiny. forgiveness doesn't always mean going back to how things were. it can sometimes mean forgiving but still moving on without that person.

because reality is. everything changes in this world and nothing ever remains the same.

i hope this somehow helps.

ps. i'm really happy you're using your blog :)
