But I've never punched anyone or hurt anyone physically.
I've raised my voice to my dad after he yelled at me, and then I apologized and gave him a hug.
I don't think there's anyone I haven't forgiven.
EP, have you forgiven your ex-friend? Or do you just worry that they won't forgive you? It may be hard to forgive yourself, but it is good to try.
I have forgiven myself for those I have hurt, even if it wasn't physical.
I've forgiven my ex-friend for hurtful things she's said and done, although the sense of hurt remains. I have a hard time forgiving myself because she refuses to forgive me. I wish I wasn't defined by mistakes I can't change. I wish I could redefine myself to her. I've always wished that. But the chanced is gone now and never coming back. And all the hurtful things she said and did she feels are justified, which just hurts even more. Every time I think about her, I suffer immense pain. But I can't pretend it's not an issue. It's hard to move on under these conditions and it's hard to redefine myself.
Did that psychic person I referred you to who channels the Goddess have any helpful advice about your friend?
