What’s something you’ve forgiven but haven’t forgotten?
Well, finally, a prompt that makes no sense at all but of course it makes perfect sense to me.
At first, I read this as what is something you have forgotten that you haven’t forgotten.
When I got divorced years ago, I was bitter, angry and wondering why this happened to me.
In retrospect , my ex should’ve divorced me. Certainly we could’ve worked harder to make things work out, but if I look back on it, I am glad we didn’t.
My ex had a lot of petty anger towards me that I didn’t even know she possessed and in the process, I learned a lot about her that I didn’t necessarily know or necessarily like. I certainly learned a lot about myself and even more things that I didn’t like.. I remember that anger and bitterness but I certainly have forgiven it.
Accountability and Revenge
There is a great debate going on right now, whether the incoming newly elected Senators and Congress should prosecute crimes and misdemeanors by the current administration. I was on the fence about this and leaned towards just moving forward and getting meaningful legislation done.. There is an accountability that comes with life and if you break established rules, one should be held accountable.
And in a sense, I was not a perfect husband, as I had a lot to learn, and there are no scripts or users to manual when it comes to marriage. So I’m accountable for that. But I’m not a vengeful person.. I remember those were dark times, but I grew from it and my ex and I we are now pretty decent friends.
I would love to hear you opinion as well
