Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a funny thing to me. I believe forgiveness is really important for a better, longer and happier life, but it is not easy for me to forgive. If someone does something really bad to me and they've hurt me, I feel I want them to feel like how I felt. I will make them feel bad for making me feel bad. It's like I want payback. Even when they apologize to me, it is still hard for me to forgive right away. I feel that a person has to work hard to get my forgiveness, especially when they hurt me. I want them to work hard because I lose a little of their trust when they hurt me. It might take awhile for them to gain back my trust for them, but in the end, I will forgive them because I know it is the right thing to do. I guess I just have to change. I have to learn to forgive people more, or else I will just lose every person who I cared about. I also have to learn to forgive people more, because it is healthy for a better, longer and happier life, and that's exactly how I want my life. I want to live life happy, with no grudges.
