Bingo Fill: Forgive

[fuzzyred]

The poem fills the "forgive" square on my Mixed card for the Valentine's Bingo Fest.

"Possibilities"

Sometimes forgiveness is not about the other person, but about yourself.
Permission to let go of the anger and hurt; to acknowledge the wrong done but still decide
that you no longer wish to carry the burden of those emotions.

And in that release of resentment and hurt
is the possibility to build something new, something stronger.
To start over and do better, if the situation is right.

And if it is not, if ties must be cut, forgiveness allows a clean break.
The ability to say, "I am done with you and you no longer have any power over me."
Not forgetting, but allowing yourself the freedom to let the hurt fade and
begin anew, on a fresh path.

Yes. Quietly cut a tie today; it was time. I probably should do a proper spring cleaning hereabouts (i.e. on DW), but that creates more noise...

*hug* Do what's best for you. If you aren't quite ready yet to make it public, that's okay. Take things at whatever pace you need to.

You seem to have acquired the gift of Timely. This is a good and happy thing.

Eeee! I'm glad I seem to have leveled up in that skill, and that my timing was good for you.
