i've realized something about myself. I have an inability to let things go. I hold grudges even when I say i've forgiven someone. and that's pretty shitty of me because i get so mad when people don't say what they mean.
i've been meditating and reading out of the bible all day and i ran up on something that i really want to try to incorporate into my life:
"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."-Ephesians 4:31-32
it's simple: LET. IT. GO. God forgives my triflin' butt for all the crap i pull but I can't forgive others for stuff that in the big ol' picture of life that is just not that damn important? i really wanna do this. forgiveness may be one of the hardest things to do in life, but it's not that impossible. and i think it's in forgiveness (or at least learning to let go and learning who to deal with and not deal with) that i can be rid of all that toxic-ness in my life.
and if the bible isn't your cup of tea, then take it from one of the better movies made in my lifetime American History X:
"hate is baggage. life is too short to be pissed off all the time."
currently listening to: "Crazy" by Aerosmith
