Someone apologizes for the past and you've already forgiven them, how would you feel? Are you happy that they acknowledge their mishap? Or are you just, 'blah' and by 'blah' I mean, okay because you have already forgiven them and have moved on with your life?
Someone recently apologized and acknowledged that their actions in the past weren't the best and I knew that. I've always heard that you don't actually have to tell a person you forgive them, you can forgive them in a thought sort to speak so that you can move on for your self. And that's what I did. I forgave and let go but the 'essence' still lingers.
When I say 'essence', I mean the impression left, that is embedded in you that then secretly/unknowingly becomes apart of you. I guess this is the 'won't forget' part of forgiving. This 'essence' just eats at you because you don't forget. So although the 'issue' is forgiven, the 'essence' isn't forgotten. Yet you manage to go on until the 'essence' becomes the 'issue'.
Now that you realize that the 'essence' is the 'issue' you are pretty much shaking your head like, what the hell?
I know this is a random thought but think about it and let it marinate.
