Honesty and Forgiveness

The lesson of today is summed up in two words: honesty and forgiveness. I'm not going to explain the exact situation, mostly because it contains confidential information, but partly because I don't want anyone to get hurt by it. However I will say this: these are two words I learnt about hand in hand today. They are like two peas in a pod, they just go together - that's the way they were made.

Also I just want to say thank-you to someone (whose name I'm not going to mention for the above reasons) but you know who you are, and even though you will probably never read this, it is something I have to say. You showed me that no matter who you are, what you do, or what the situation is that forgiveness is always the way to go. You showed me that whatever is going on a simple "I'm sorry" followed by a "that's okay" is sometimes all that is needed to resolve a problem. I know that you will always be there for me - regardless of what is going on - but somehow this is to hard for me to wrap my mind around.

I guess I'm scared of disappointment I guess I'm scared of the friendship that is forming because almost all of my closest friends have hurt me. I know that a broken heart is a beautiful heart, but sometimes I think just one more time and I won't be able to put it back together again. Here's the thing I'm beginning to learn....what broke it, puts it back together. If friendship breaks your heart than friendship will put it back together. Essentially heart glue is the same thing as heart scissors.

They always say the truth will set you free....today I learnt that freedom is sweet, but the best kind of freedom is the freedom you have to fight for yourself, not the freedom that is just handed to you on a silver platter. What is true freedom? I think I have found the answer...it is the experiences, thoughts and feelings encountered throughout life that allow you to live out all of your heart's desires, your deepest dreams, and your greatest passions. A life free of restriction - not needing any restriction because it is guided by the heart and if it is my heart one guided by honesty and forgiveness.
