it's christmas,

and on christmas alike hari raya, you forgive, forget and sorta start anew on a good note. and while the act of forgiveness sounds magnanimous, i never saw forgiving as hard as i do today. when someone seeks forgiveness, the most polite and appropriate thing to do is to return the gesture with the granting of your forgiveness, relieving their burdened guilt. however, how if part of you are still unreconciled with everything, will it be wise to seek time? things don't happen with the sleight of a hand and when things accumulate overtime, sometimes, a simple apology does little to aplease the long standing injustice that burns within. so while i've forgiven even before it was sought, i can't forget and doubt i will for some time. while its a rotten feeling to be unable to let go, its a greater burden to feel pressured at an instant to grant the much sought forgiveness. it's really weirde, because truly from the bottom of my heart, unforgiveness in this respect was never an issue but somehow, the sting from the slap lingers and serve as a recurring reminder.

so if anything this christmas, i pray god give me a heart big enough to truly forgive, to bury the hatchet and live, and let be.
