"FORGIVENESS MEANS TO STOP FEELING ANGRY OR RESENTFUL TOWARDS SOMEONE. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO LOVE OR LIKE THEM."
You forgive for yourself. You let go of that pain or anger inside.
I have friends who carry it as a precious talisman inside for years. They become prisoners of their own hate or pain. Forgiveness is like taking the handcuffs off, not from the villain, from your own heart.
It's not an easy thing and time won't heal it either. It frustrates me every time I hear that lie...'Time is a good doctor.' I Read more of this blog post »

Thanks for the add :) I'm mostly interested in reading/reviewing Young Adult books that are dystopian/sci-fi/horror/thriller. :)
Hi Mimi! Lovely meeting you! And lol, yes - Hawaii would be very much my own view, though I live inland. I'm always amazed when watching a show like Hawaii 5-0 how much the landscape is similar between there and Mauritius :)Really glad we've connected. xo
As a fellow traveler, I still have Maui on my bucket list (but I have been to Oahu, the Big Island and Kauai...so far my favorite is Kauai). I can well imagine you must live in paradise (the plants alone...so gorgeous). As a lapsed Catholic, I still consider myself very spiritual, and isn't art in all its forms (writing, painting, any creation really) the highest manifestation of that?
Well, enough blathering from me. I'll just add that I think you'd enjoy "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert if you haven't read it already. Thanks for being my friend.
Hey thanks for the friend invite. Yes, I'm definitely a bookworm and foodie! lol
Hiya! thanks for the friend, invite. This college girl definitely still reads. Basic necessity for a sane mind and all that :).

How are you only 25??? Your English is amazing. Your proper writing etiquette is nothing short of stunning from your generation :-)) and simply you are too good to be true! :-))
Have a great weekend!

Hi, Mimi!Thank you for reaching out! And YOUR picture is cute, I admire the happiness that radiates through it.
You live on a Hawaiian island? That's so amazing!
And I really like your life philosophy. Not to worry about the small, menial things but focus on the things that really matter and find happiness in them.
I wish you all the best!
Hugs,

Thanks for the friend request and sweet words. And yes, I'm 58 soon to be 59 :-) Good genes, I guess.
