Forgiveness, is never easy, but always necessary. The hardest person to forgive is yourself. Everyone disappoints them self, and lets them self down at one point or another, but you must learn to forgive yourself, and continue to move forward. You must also learn to forgive others. Be quick to forgive, but not to forget.
If you cant forgive, you're only holding your own self captive. The anger, resentment, frustration, and hate will only build up in you, making you bitter; and a prisoner in your own soul. Be strong, be the better person, and forgive, and let it go. Learn from your own mistakes and failures, as well as others. Forgive. Do not forget, but always forgive.
Feelings of anger, frustration and hate are normal. People will disappoint you time and time again. You will disappoint yourself time and time again. You will fail. You must continue forward. You cannot stay angry at yourself or others. It's a waste of time and energy to not forgive. It is not easy to forgive, but it's something you must do if you want to be happy. Don't let others bring you down. Forgive yourself, forgive others, and let it go.
I've always struggled with forgiveness. I hold grudges, I bring the past up, I say things are okay, when really inside they're not okay. I need to work on my forgiveness. There are many things I still haven't forgiven myself for, and people in my life I haven't forgiven either. Carrying anger, frustration, and bitterness with me everywhere I go. Not forgiving does not help you, it doesn't make you stronger, it doesn't make you smarter. It makes you ignorant, and shows your weakness.
Forgive but do not forget.
