Forgiveness: Asking.. & receiving..

Do you know how good it feels to finally forgive someone?

* * *

I guess you could say that I've been doing some soul seaching during the past couple of weeks - some of them long overdue.

Apart from the meeting with the ex, I've had another closure yesterday.. No, it's not another ex :P
An old... friend.. whom (at one time) I didn't exactly want to befriend.. Yam, you silly girl you..

And now, somehow it felt like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders.

I'm not sure what was it I was carrying that has been weighing me down: guilt? disappointment? anger? disillusionment? frustration?

Probably a bit of each..
I thought I was entitled to all those feelings.
But thinking back, maybe I over-reacted in some issues. Or maybe I didn't use my head very much..

Forgiveness.. this one probably doesn't come easy.

The one doing the forgiving might be tempted to keep on dwelling on the other party's mistakes and wrongdoings. Kiranya.. makin diingat.. makin susah nak maafkan la tu..

The one asking for forgiveness.. well, for most people, it's sooo difficult to admit that one has actually made a mistake. It takes courage to say "I'm sorry..".

Hehe.. didn't Sir Elton John (and Blue) sang "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" ??
