Maybe as part of the healing process, I need to forgive myself too. For believing for a second that it could be something.
It is myself that I need to make peace with. It is myself that I need to forgive. That sometimes you misjudged people’s words and actions. That sometimes what someone did or said to you meant different things to you than what he intended.
That you will never know whether he really was oblivious to the pain he was causing you. That he was maybe genuinely thought he was being a good friend. That maybe he was trying to change himself.
But all that didn’t matter.
It’s time to forgive yourself. You can’t blame him forever.
And what good would it do even if he said he knew what he was doing? Would his words heal those wounds? Pick up your self-esteem back up again and be whole in an instant? Would his words make it any easier?
This is your part now. To forgive yourself. To make peace with yourself. To console yourself.
That it is okay to make mistakes. Sometimes, you misjudged and you ended up breaking your own heart.
But it’s okay. It will be okay.
Forgive.
