Have you forgiven the people who bullied you?

[esprit_girl]

I mentioned in my previous posts here that I was a victim of bullying in high school. Most of them were my boy classmates. Because I was overweight and had an acne problem, they called me insulting names. My family was not aware of it, as I had decided not to discuss it with them anymore. It hurt my feelings. There are times when I remember it, and I still get hurt. However, I have forgiven them so I could live in peace. Have you forgiven the people who bullied you?

There's no room for anyone who ever bullied me in my life. I consider them dead and forgotten because I would never have anything to do with them. They are complete animals to me.

I don’t think of it as forgiveness in a dramatic sense. I’ve let go of the anger, mainly for my own peace. I understand people act out of their own issues, but that doesn’t mean what they did was okay. Letting go mattered more than reconciling.

When it comes to forgiveness, I embrace it totally because that is the path to freedom and peace of mind. I believe they must have been ignorant and naive so I just leave them to grow into maturity. I was also once a bully myself and the fact remains that I was just catching cruise. As ignorant as I was I still had boundaries. I'd forgive and let go of the past to embrace healing and genuine peace.

I cannot forgive people who bullied me. I was bullied for whole two years during my school days. Those were the most horrible days of my life. Nothing in this world can bring back the time I spent enduring all that.
