I got all sad and anxious when an acquaintance asked me if I had "forgiven" the people who abused me.
These people would still verbally attack me if I let them but I don't and I have not forgiven them for the physical hurt, the mental hurt.
I wish people wouldn't ask me that. It just makes me think about the past and makes me upset. How can anyone forgive? Am I wrong? I don't know. It just has me thinking maybe that's the magic thing to do. I just don't know how to do it when it makes me so sad.
