I Will No Longer...

[josie20]

I will no longer worry or fret when someone leaves.

I will no longer plead or ask you to reconsider.

I will no longer offer my condolences or apologize.

I will no longer try to carry on a friendship when you offer only abandonment.

I will no longer care when someone gets offended, as they get offended all to easily.

I will no longer be surprised when someone shows there true colors and leaves this family without striving for forgiveness.

Because you have been offended once, I will no longer expect you to not get offended again.

I am quick to forgive, but I will no longer ask your forgiveness. Holding a grudge hurts only the begrudging self. Refusing forgiveness only destroys the unforgiving. Not forgetting offensive memories only consumes the pleasing memories. The offenders and unforgiven are not harmed by your bitterness, so release your hatred, as it hurts only you.

I will no longer take such seriousness in the things around me.

I will no longer care when someone insults me.

I will no longer argue such pointless things.

I will no longer expect us to stay together forever...though I wish us to.

Will YOU make the effort to keep this family together?

I will...
