Rolling With The Punches

Wow life is crazy beautiful. So weird. It comes full circle sometimes in unexpected ways.
Say you make a bad decision once and hurt yourself. You keep it to yourself, thinking its your burden to bear. Then, years later, you decide you should confess for the sake of honesty and hurt a friend. But you find forgiveness… only to have it yanked away abruptly, with no discussion, no recourse – just silence.
Then you find acceptance – inside yourself for what is meant to be… only to learn about a betrayal from years ago from another person. And realize your own internal struggle over a feeling of what is done to you versus that ability to forgive… and find yourself struggling.
How do you reconcile your heart and your head? Forgiveness is too simple really. It is more about acceptance… and moving on.
Life. It’s just one damn thing after another, now isn’t it? I realize this more right now – in this moment.
So simple. So beautiful.

thank you for articulating that. it is so hard to say that because it is hard to understand even in your own head. i’m struggling for acceptance right now. and struggling with needing acceptance (and maybe forgivness too) from someone else. your words are awesome.
