The Anchor

when someone says you need to forgive someone for something that does not mean you are saying what they did was okay when they tell you to just let it go,unhook the anchor... they mean for you,not for them,see a better day you are giving someone power,when you let them affect your life to that extent so forgive someone for YOUR own sake,actually DOES make sense you hear alot of cliche' things,especially growing up like i did but at the end of the day,i refuse to let them be that big the creepy man that scarred you for life,or maybe an abusive husband the girl that plays mindgames with the good man that's in love with her that mother who let the stepfather abuse you cause' she "loved him" or the father that drank and said nothing but "okay" and "sure" no matter what your situation,you must forgive them promptly you must forgive them for you,not for them,this doesn't mean it wont be rocky it's hard to forgive, but its even harder to forget but if you hold onto these grudges you will regret you will become a bitter human being,with tons of exhausting baggage thinking about these things and re-feeling them will run you ragged trust me,i've lived it im trying to fix it im not perfect,im only human but im trying at least,to remove it let it go. unhook the anchor. let it go. unhook it from your ankle.
