The Art of Forgiving

Today, I went shopping with the girls =)
bought a pair of jeans and a top
sooo broke

I had dinner with M,P,F at Stareast
Service there is soooo CRAP
and food is only so-so

Anw, no photos cos I cbs loading them

Let's talk about the Art of Forgiving
some quotes
(this is not from me, btw)

The most creative power given to the human spirit is the power to heal the wounds of a past it cannot change
We do our forgiving alone inside out hearts and minds; what happens to the people we forgive depends on them
Forgiving someone who breaks a trust does not mean that we give him his job back
Forgiving is a journey; the deeper the wound, the longer the journey
The first person to benefit from forgiving is the one who does it

Forgiving happens in three stages; we rediscover the humanity of the person who wronged us; we surrender our right to get even; we wish that person well

Forgiving is hard
and it's not merely saying "I forgive you"
but it has to come truly from the heart
Perhaps, words do not even have to come out
Your actions and expressions show it all

But does forgiving means forgetting?
Perhaps, girls would say NO
"I forgive, but I can't forget"
However, wouldn't memories of such evoke the pain and anger again?

So what is true forgiveness?
What transformations do you get when you truly forgive?
I have, yet, to experience it
or perhaps, realise it...

Yet, what is there to forgive in the first place?
Must there be someone who does wrong in a situation?
Or does one just have to feel that they are the victim?
What is the exact forgiveness I am looking for?
Maybe, it's more of forgiving myself and letting go...

Lord, give me strength

Anw, I still can't see my future much
VCE is over-rated
I still don't know what I wanna be
My decisions are wavered
让时间指引我
and I don't noe what's wrong with C
