Big Girl Panties

...or something like that.

So, the story behind it goes like this. A long time ago, I once knew a person that said something to me that was really hurtful during a time in my life that I had really struggled through. I can't write about it without it bringing tears to my eyes; not for the fact that I'm not over it, but because I look back and see all the hurt I'd been put through. For those that know me VERY well, know what I'm talking about. For those that don't, well, maybe one day you will have the priviledge of finding out some day.

Anyway, I never forgave that person for the things that were said at the time so I ended all communication right then and there. I'm not one to hold huge grudges (I think?). It was best for ME. I have not spoken to this person since. However, today I put on my big girl panties and added this person as a "friend" on Facebook. Goooo me.

You are the better person for doing that. Sometimes even though people hurt us very badly (I know, I've been there too) we have to forgive them so that we can move forward with our lives. That doesn't make what they did wrong. But at least you/we have kept our side of the street clean so to say. I have a quote that I live by. "They may forget what you did, they may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel".
