Someone once asked...

“I miss you, not you, just who you used to be. Who you aren’t anymore. I hate the way you talked to me… I hate how I tried to make a joke you would’ve loved, only for you to think I was crazy. I hate the way your voice changed. I hate how your taller. I hate how you seem lonely. I hate that you never looked back. I hate how you don’t smile. I hate that your not a jerk. Your supposed to be. I hate you. But I don’t. I really hate myself. I hate the way I can’t forget. I hate that I want to forgive you. I hate how long it’s been. I hate you. But I don’t. Most of all I hate myself -by me That person that quit being friends with me three years ago. Why can’t I forget? Should I try to forgive? Should I talk to them?”

Someone answered with kindness...

You can't forget because love doesn't work like that. The truth is, even if someone isn't meant to be a part of your life anymore, that won't stop your heart from never forgetting them. There will always be a spot in your heart for them, even if it is time to let go and move on. You have to forgive too, resentment is corrosive, and if you can't forgive now, then you won't in thirty years from now either, and it'll affect all of your relationships then. But don't talk to them, that time in your past is over, and you can love the good things, but life moves on, don't get stuck in the past or you'll miss the future. And the future? Let me tell you, it is gonna be a lot better than you could ever imagine now. Most importantly, you cannot hate yourself. You are loved. You are deserving of love. You are special, and the fact that you are in this world means the world is a better place than it could be without you. Life is hard, and heartbreak is miserable, but don't let that stop you from living. Life is awesome, please don't miss it.
