it takes so much energy to stay bitter and unhappy.
when someone does something wrong to you, the human (or maybe this one is strictly female) instinct is not only to get mad, but to never forgive them. you think you’ll do better without them in your life, and don’t get me wrong, sometimes it’s true - but it doesn’t change how hard it is to keep ignoring them and ignoring the issue.
it’s like a big ass axe wound in your heart, and every time you see that person or they say something it’s a weight on your chest, and you remember the pain of the original accident. it takes your breath away for a second and you can’t speak because you’re too busy trying to recompose yourself. it’s just hard.
why waste your life being mad about a mistake? we’re all human, we all make them, not one of us is better than anyone else. move on, because refusing to forgive someone is just going to be unnecessary pain that’s so simple to spare yourself.
i’m glad i keep moving on.
for redemption. the “checking in” text. i told myself i’d have more to say this time; i let loose and showed him the side of me without expectation, the part of me which only longs for decent banter and some fun.
yet you still weren’t any more interesting to talk to.
“deuces,” boy, your beauty and money will only get you so far.
