Of forgiving and forgetting

I got off ME 171 exam just a moment ago. Came back to Mctyeire, met Dale, and we're kinda talk for a bit, about childhood's Final Fantasy and stuffs. He's a guy whose conversation is always filled with laughter. Dale's a chill guy, never fail to entertain me everyday with his sincerest smile, never hold grudges against other people. Hardly i see him frowning over anything, never did. I wish I was him sometimes, for being able to forgive and forget, having a bad day today and still able to smile at dinner time.

It reminds me to this conversation I had over the weekend "Syaf, just forgive and forget, it's better for you". And when I asked her how did she manage, she simply replied "I just go to sleep and the next day I knew it's already off my mind". My dear, I'm not you. I cannot simply change my behavior or simply change myself. Easier said than done. I knew I can't go to sleep over something of a foul mood and wake up tomorrow with the grin like Dale's.

Can I just forgive and forget? It's like concocting both remedy and poison in a single pot. As if having both sour and sweet in yourself, simultaneously. I know, I know, I'm just feeding excuses to myself. I'll try to be forgiving, and to be forgetful. I think I'm progressing, it was rather slow, but at least moving somewhere, I've already OK with a person who I've been ignoring since freshman year, I haven't talk to her, but I think deep in my heart, I've already began to accept her the way she is. In fact, I think she's wayyyy better than me, social-wise and other stuffs. I know what you think, not that kind of accepting, OK? ^^ But the kind of a companion accepting each other.... May god fill her life with more joy and berkat.





Thanks Dale, for always filling my life with joy in Mctyeire ^^
ほんとうにありがとうございます ^^

  1. That is one Crazy picture. But thanks for the comments about me. I mean, you probably see me on the better days b/c I know I have those moments where I'm feeling down or uneasy with others. I guess I just try to remember, though, that there is more to live for and that if I stay focused on the grudge or how miserable I am I will miss lots of opportunities to serve other people, to make new friends, to learn something, to improve myself, etc. It just seems logical to me to look at the big picture instead of the small disappointment right now. But, yes, this is definitely easier said than done. . .
